Officials from Shasta County, Sierra Pacific Industries and CAL FIRE/Shasta County Fire Department took part in a ribbon cutting ceremony for Shasta County Fire Department Station 47 Monday.

Station 47 is situated between Interstate 5 and Highway 273—off of Riverside Avenue—and will provide service for an estimated 30,000 residents and surrounding businesses.

The station is a project that’s years in the making. Construction on the new station began back in July 2021. CAL FIRE said the land was donated to the county by Sierra Pacific and accepted by the Board of Supervisors back in March 2021.

CAL FIRE said firefighters will begin operating out of the station in December.
