Station 53, one of TVF&R’s three fire stations under construction right now, is beginning to take shape. Crews are framing the building’s roof and people driving or walking by are getting a good idea of how the station will look when it’s finished.
The old station was demolished to make way for the new one, but its concrete walls and foundation found new life as fill for the new Bolton Fire Station in West Linn.
Station 53 is located in the Progress area near the Washington Square Mall. In addition to responding to the District’s largest commercial development, this station serves well-established neighborhoods in eastern Washington County and is “first-in” on a significant volume 
of motor vehicle accidents on Highway 217.
The project is one of several funded by a $77 million general obligation bond for capital improvements approved by voters in November of 2006. To learn more about all of our projects, click here.
While their new station is under construction, Station 53’s firefighters and paramedics are working out of temporary quarters at Whitford Middle School. This nearby location means the community will see no change in response times. TVF&R appreciates the willingness of the Beaverton School District to make the space available.
