The construction of Fire Station 12 aims to enhance safety and emergency response in Anaheim.
Anaheim is set to welcome Fire Station 12, with construction officially starting in the bustling Platinum Triangle neighborhood near Angel Stadium. The new station, strategically located at 1822 S. State College Boulevard, is expected to enhance emergency response times and support the growing community. With an estimated construction cost of $13 million to $15 million, Fire Station 12 will feature a main building of 10,400 square feet and aims to improve public safety as Anaheim continues to expand.
Big news, Anaheim! Construction has officially begun on Fire Station 12, the city’s latest addition to its growing roster of emergency services. Nestled comfortably in the bustling Platinum Triangle neighborhood near Angel Stadium, this new fire station is set to be a game-changer for the community. Let’s dive into what you can expect!
Fire Station 12 is strategically located in a city-owned parking lot at 1822 S. State College Boulevard, just south of Katella Avenue. This area is booming—it’s right next to the 1818 Platinum Triangle apartments, making it perfectly positioned to serve the bustling crowd that lives and visits nearby. The station is expected to open its doors in mid-2026, bringing a wealth of fire and medical services to the community.
When completed, Fire Station 12 will boast a main building measuring a whopping 10,400 square feet. There will also be a secondary 2,195-square-foot building dedicated to housing ambulances and equipment. It’s a significant investment in public safety, with construction costs estimated between $13 million and $15 million. The project is being managed by AWI Builders Inc. from Pico Rivera, ensuring that the station meets the high standards set forth by Anaheim Fire & Rescue.
One of the main goals of Fire Station 12 is to improve emergency response times dramatically. Currently, the nearest stations are about two miles away, which can be a bit concerning for residents and sports fans alike. This new station is expected to cut those response times in half or even more, making Anaheim a safer place for everyone.
The Platinum Triangle isn’t just a neighborhood; it’s turning into a vibrant urban village focused on sports, entertainment, and community living. With major attractions like Angel Stadium, Honda Center, and the City National Grove, it’s no wonder that nearly 10,000 residents have made this area their home, with the potential for thousands more in the future. In addition to the fire station, there are exciting developments in the works, such as OCVibe, a $4 billion project that promises to bring hotels, music venues, and shopping experiences right to the heart of the Platinum Triangle.
The addition of Fire Station 12 is an important move for Anaheim’s growing population. With new developments, including countless apartments and businesses, the demand for reliable emergency services is higher than ever. This station is the first new fire station to be constructed in Anaheim since Fire Station 5 opened in 2018, filling a crucial role as the community evolves.
It’s worth noting that the construction hasn’t been without its hurdles. There were some delays due to legal issues concerning the site’s lease agreement with the Angels related to a stadium sale that didn’t go through in 2022. Fortunately, a settlement was reached, allowing work to finally kick off!
The new Fire Station 12 will serve not only the residents of the Platinum Triangle but also sports fans attending games and events at Angel Stadium. With over 200 sworn firefighters and paramedics working for Anaheim Fire & Rescue, this addition is set to bolster the city’s emergency service capabilities significantly. As the community continues to grow, public safety remains a top priority.
So there you have it, Anaheim! Fire Station 12 is on its way, and it promises to bring a safer, more responsive fire and medical service to our vibrant, ever-evolving city. Stay tuned for more updates as construction progresses!
