Fire Station 17 Moved to Temporary Location
Fire Engine 17, Ladder 9 and Battalion 6 have relocated from 1050 NE
50th Street, to 4557 11th Avenue NE, two blocks directly south of the
current station. Firefighters will respond to emergencies from this
location.
Public tours of Fire Station 17 are suspended until the work is
complete. Citizens can go to the temporary fire station for blood
pressure checks. Keep Warm, Keep Safe in Winter Weather • Do not burn charcoal or use gasoline generators indoors, including the garage. Do not use gas or kerosene heaters in closed rooms. These produce carbon monoxide, a deadly gas which can not be seen or smelled. • If you use a fireplace or wood stove, make sure that chimneys and flues are in good condition and are not blocked. • All portable heaters should be placed at least three feet from bedding, furniture, and other flammable materials. They should be plugged directly in the wall, not into an extension cord. • Portable heaters should be turned off when you leave the room or before going to bed. Baseboard heaters should not touch any furniture, bedding or curtains, or other items stored on the floor. • Make certain smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors are installed on every level of your home and outside every sleeping area. Test your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors monthly and change the batteries at least once a year. For more information on fire safety, visit the following links:
