Grand Coulee Dam Fire Station, Grand Coulee, WA.
GRAND COULEE, Wash. – Construction work at the Grand Coulee Dam Fire Station is closing in on the final few months of construction activities. As of Oct. 2023, the bulk of the electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and the fire protection systems were installed; the exterior concrete masonry veneer, and the polished concrete floors were completed. Focus areas for November will be the remaining interior work, terrazzo floors, exterior concrete placements, landscaping, and pavement markings. Completion is planned for spring 2024. The new fire station is located at the west gate to the Grand Coulee Power Office industrial area near the intersection of Highway 155 and B Street.
In April 2022, the surety—Berkley Insurance Company—selected J.S. Held LLC to coordinate project efforts with National Native American Construction, Inc., to complete the fire station.
“Every day we see progress at the fire station,” said Grand Coulee Power Office Assistant Power Manager Stephanie Utter. “We are focusing on final details and continuing with project coordination to complete this project by this spring.”
The 22,000-square-foot facility will provide space for vehicle and equipment storage, along with separate crew areas for sleeping and dining, meeting/training rooms, offices, and a public reception area. This project will help to ensure reliable protection for the Reclamation facilities and lands and assist local communities and other agencies through mutual-aid agreements.
