Photo Gallery: Remodeled Fire Station No. 8

Bakersfield Fire Station No. 8 is remodeled and back in service after two years and about $2 million. The station located at 2213 University Avenue was built in 1956. The remodel added a laundry facility, spacious kitchen, gym and room specifically to store the firefighters' gear.

Before the city began the renovation, there were electrical problems that caused fires in the walls and roof leaks.

The station held an open house showing the completed renovation to the public and city officials.

While the new single-story station lacks a fire pole for firefighters to descend quickly from a top floor, almost every feature of the building can be run via information technology components.

The large building has a secure living and office area for firefighter-paramedics on one side of the building.

It includes a fitness area to help the Fire Department’s personnel stay in shape to lift what Audette said was an average of 1,200 pounds of human weight per shift. Those working out can be viewed through a large window from the living room and kitchen area — another safety feature.
