he Barrhaven South community welcomed Fire Station 47 to the neighbourhood today with a grand opening celebration attended by Mayor Jim Watson, Councillors Mark Taylor, Jan Harder, Steve Desroches, and Scott Moffatt, Ottawa Fire Chief John deHooge, city staff and local residents.
“This new fire station will mean faster emergency response times and greater peace of mind for the residents of this growing community,” said Mayor Jim Watson. “It will also help conserve energy and save money thanks to its sustainable design.”
The newly constructed three-bay, 12,250-square-foot station is the result of a $9.2 million investment by the City and will house the Ottawa Fire Services’ fire hose repair and maintenance depot. Ottawa Fire Services provides this service in-house, saving the City money, while providing quality assurance to firefighters.
“The firefighters who are stationed here will not only provide emergency response, but will also be active members of this community through their volunteering efforts, community outreach initiatives and fire safety education,” said Councillor Mark Taylor, Chair of the Community and Protective Services Committee. “These men and women are truly a valuable asset to the community they serve and their hard work is appreciated.”
Fire Station 47 was designed to incorporate sustainable design features that will reduce energy consumption, lessen water usage, efficiently improve heating and cooling capacities, while using natural, renewable, recycled and regionally produced materials in the construction.
“This is an exciting day for Barrhaven as we welcome this new fire station and the firefighters that are stationed here to our community,” said Barrhaven Councillor Jan Harder. “Fire safety is everyone’s responsibility and the opening of this fire station will create opportunities for local residents to learn directly from firefighters’ ways to keep themselves and their families safe.”
The new station features all the spatial requirements needed by the fire crews deployed there, including equipment storage, a gear room, a dorm and kitchen, a hose tower, office area, lobby, exercise room, watch room and training spaces.
The Barrhaven South fire station is the first structure to be built in the area of Greenbank and Cambrian Roads and will soon be joined by a recreation complex, an elementary school, parkland and sports fields. The result will be centralized services that meet the needs of area residents.
