The City of Burnaby has replaced Fire Station 4 with a new station, designed to meet the needs of our growing city, in a new location.
The new facility is on City-owned land on Greystone Drive, across from Squint Lake Park and directly adjacent to the Trans Mountain tank farm. It replaces the old Fire Station 4 (on Duthie Avenue) which was built in 1956.
The new fire station is complete and will be fully operational in July 2024.
Some key features of the new Fire Station 4 include:
15,000 square feet, gross floor area
3 drive-through bays for vehicles
separated decontamination space for crews
seismically designed to meet post disaster standards
In addition, the new Fire Station 4 aligns with the City of Burnaby’s Climate Action plan, which focuses on sustainable and energy-efficient buildings. Key examples of this include:
low carbon energy with no natural gas used throughout the building
energy efficient envelope
stormwater management system that slows the impact of run off into local streams
final interior finish that uses less materials throughout the building
reflective colour roofing for low solar heat gain
solar ready roof to help push towards net zero energy in future
