Fire Facilities Vision Plan

The key findings of the Fire Facilities Vision Plan are:

• The Headquarters and the Fire Station at Woodacre, the Tomales Fire Station, and Hicks Valley Fire Station are past their useful life and are recommended to be replaced.
• The Headquarters including the administration/emergency command center, fire station No. 1, vehicle maintenance and warehouse facilities are recommended to be relocated to a larger site and centrally located within the Marin County service area.
• The Hick Valley Fire Station is recommended to be relocated to a larger site near its current location.
• Tomales Fire Station is recommended to be replaced on its existing site.
• Point Reyes Fire Station is recommended to be seismically upgraded, expanded and a new building added to the site to house the sheriff operations and a community meeting room.
• Subject to securing on-going funding for services, a future Tamalpais Fire Crew Facility was studied and is recommended to be co-located with one of the existing fire stations if there is enough land. This report has it co-located with Hicks Valley Fire Station and this proposal is subject to land availability and cost verification.
• A strategy for construction phasing is possible for the Headquarters, Hicks Valley and Tomales facilities.
