The City of Oakland Park unveiled its newest addition to the community with the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Fire Rescue Station 9.

This modern facility, which replaces the original station on Park Lane East/NE 38th Street at 3rd Avenue, stands three blocks east at NE 6th Avenue. The new Fire Station 9 reflects an investment of over $18 million in public safety, fire, and emergency medical services.

The 19,800-square-foot, two-story facility serves as the central hub for the Oakland Park Fire Rescue Department, with its first floor dedicated to Fire Rescue Operations and the second floor for fire administration and prevention. This facility is the third completed project under Oakland Park’s Comprehensive Facilities Plan, a ten-year redevelopment bond initiative approved by 67% of voters in 2018 to build and renovate key city buildings.
