New fire station breaks ground, foundation set

As Castle Rock thrives, Castle Rock Fire and Rescue strives to maintain its level of service to the community. That's why a new fire station is being built in Crystal Valley. 

CRFD broke ground on the new station in September 2017. The station is expected to open in summer 2018. Here's an update.

Week of Jan. 15

This week, we finished preparing the east end of the station for the pouring of the concrete floor to be completed by the end of the week.

Half of the west end floor has also been prepared this week and was also poured with concrete and completed by the end of the week.

The floor drains in these areas were also installed in anticipation of the floors being poured.

About the new station

The new fire station will be located on north side of Crystal Valley Parkway, just east of the Crystal Valley Parkway bridge. The location was determined as part of the department’s research for the 2014-17 Fire Master Plan. 

To create the plan, Castle Rock Fire and Rescue analyzed the Town’s demographics and growth rate; percentages of build-out for area developments; and calls for service and responses to various areas throughout Town. The analysis indicated the next area of need is Crystal Valley. 

The new station is expected to open with 12 new staff members in summer 2018.
