Construction is scheduled to begin Monday, June 15, on a new fire station designed to improve emergency response in the South Coast by relocating firefighters from a flood-prone station to safer, higher ground.
The new Fire Station 59 will be located at 340 Butano Cutoff, next to Pescadero Middle/High School.
It replaces the aging Pescadero Creek Road station, built in 1957 and prone to repeated flooding that creates challenges for first responders when the community needs them most.
Once completed, the new 12,000-square-foot station will provide modern living quarters and emergency response facilities. It will also include a solar-powered microgrid and backup power system designed to maintain operations during extended outages, which have lasted for as long as two weeks following major storms.
Construction is expected to continue through 2027, with substantial completion by late that summer. A formal groundbreaking will be announced in the coming weeks. The existing station will remain fully staffed and operational throughout construction.
