The city of Pasco has completed construction of a $5.2 million, 10,612-square-foot fire station at 7520 Sandifur Parkway to replace its ageing Fire Station 83 at 3203 Road 68.

The new Station 83 is a single-story building with four drive-thru vehicle bays, living and sleeping quarters for crews and support space.

The station was moved to a more central location to improve response times and boost safety for crews. It serves a territory that includes a large portion of the future Broadmoor development area to the west of Road 100. It is south of the Pasco water tanks and north of Walmart on North Road 68.

Chervenell Construction of Kennewick was the general contractor. Strategic Construction Management Inc. of Pasco served as the owner’s representative for the project. TCA Architecture Planning of Seattle was the architect.
