Surrey council reveals $30M plan to relocate and expand Fleetwood Fire Hall #6 by 2028, replacing aging facility impacted by SkyTrain expansion.
New Firehall Project Announced in Fleetwood
Surrey City Council has confirmed plans to relocate and rebuild Fire Hall #6 in Fleetwood, advancing a $30-million infrastructure project aimed at supporting the area’s rapid growth and upcoming transit developments. The announcement came during a council update on Monday, July 28.
Location Shift to Accommodate SkyTrain Expansion
The current firehall, situated on 152 Street just north of Fraser Highway, will be demolished to make way for future development tied to the Surrey-Langley SkyTrain line. The new site is located two blocks north at 9261 152 Street, on land the city acquired in 2023.
Planning and Design Underway
The project remains in the planning phase, with Chernoff Thompson Architects retained to prepare the facility program and a design framework. City Manager Rob Costanzo’s summer 2025 report indicates a design-builder will be selected later this year. Preliminary site studies—including geotechnical investigation, tree assessments, and topographic surveys—are expected to conclude by October 2025.
Construction Timeline Set Through 2028
According to city staff, design work is scheduled to begin in 2026, with construction to follow in 2027 and final completion targeted for 2028. The timeline ensures minimal disruption to local emergency response services while aligning with broader city infrastructure goals.
Addressing Community Growth and Safety Needs
The relocation and expansion stem from a longstanding concern by Surrey Fire Services regarding the limitations of the current facility. The existing hall lacks adequate space for modern firefighting operations, training activities, and future growth in Fleetwood.
Site Constraints Prompt New Build
The current property, hemmed in by development and roadways, cannot accommodate necessary renovations or expansions. Previous reports to council in 2023 highlighted both the operational deficiencies of the building and the city’s need for a long-term, scalable solution in this key neighbourhood.
