Residents toured the 12,000 square foot station, met first responders, got fire and life safety information, and enjoyed food and activities for the kids. As the city of Phoenix grew, so did the need for timely emergency and fire service in this community. Thanks to a commitment by community leaders, city officials, the Phoenix Fire Department and the architects on the project, Station 55 was completed in record time! It incorporates highly energy efficient design concepts, an SIPS panel roof system, and ICF wall construction. Officials who spoke at the Grand Opening of Station 55 included Mayor Kate Gallego, Vice Mayor Jim Waring, and other city councilmembers. In addition, Phoenix Fire Chief Kara Kalkbrenner, Steve Beuerlein, President of the United Phoenix Fire Fighters Association, representatives of Perlman Architects of Arizona, and Sun Eagle Construction spoke at the event.</p>
