Can anyone guess which side is larger—the Admin./Crew side or the Apparatus Bay?

Crews from Magnum Welding and Construction LLC and Franken Construction Company worked through the night on August 25th to pour the concrete floor for the Admin./Crew side of the building. Finishing didn’t wrap up until after 8am on the 26th.

The total square footage of the building is 12,898. Both sides are nearly equal in size, but one is just a bit bigger. Take your guess!

🌲 Slash Collection Notice🌲

Our wildland firefighting crews are currently deployed assisting with active wildfires across the region. Because our team is on the front lines protecting communities, local slash pick-up requests will take longer than usual.

We greatly appreciate your patience and cooperation as we prioritize life and safety. Please keep your slash piled safely at the curb, and we will clear it as soon as our crews return home.

Thank you for supporting our firefighters! 🔥🧑‍🚒

Why so many pouring stages? Franken Construction and Magnum Welding & Construction have been ensuring that all levels beneath the finished slab tie together as a structural system. First, the Deep Pedestals to support the massive steel vertical columns. Next, the Grade Beams to tie the sub-structure together. Up to 1 Inch ( #8) welded rebar was used as the backbone of the foundation's strength. Look for the upcoming pours to hopefully complete the Polished Concrete slab by the end of the month.
