This project provides for a renovation of the existing 10,800 square foot space, including all heating ventilation, and air conditioning; electrical and life safety systems; correction of code and Americans with Disabilities Act compliance issues and removal of hazardous material at the Glen Echo Fire Station. It also includes a new third bay, reallocation of existing space, complete interior building renovation, improvements in all living areas of the station, replacement of all building systems and a temporary facility. An adjacent property parcel, needed for the renovation project, was acquired from the State Highway Administration (SHA).

Glen Echo Fire Station 11 was constructed in 1954. The station requires a major renovation to meet current and future fire/rescue services delivery requirements. In June 2001, the Station Location and Resources Allocation work group re-affirmed the need for a fire/rescue station in the Glen Echo area to be located on or in the immediate vicinity of the current station. This project is recommended in the Fire, Rescue, Emergency Medical Services, and Community Risk Reduction Master Plan approved by the County Council in June 2016.

Debt service for this project will be financed with Consolidated Fire Tax District Funds.

A pedestrian impact analysis has been completed for this project.
