The new Fire Station 40 for the Keyes Fire Protection District represents a major step forward in both functionality and design for the department. Replacing a station built in the 1940s, the project involved a complete demolition of the aging structure and the construction of a modern, purpose-built facility that can meet the growing demands of the community. The new station accommodates today’s firefighting needs while looking ahead to future service expectations.

Carefully planned with input from the department, the layout includes dedicated training rooms, turnout gear rooms, individual sleeping quarters, and spacious new apparatus bays designed to fit larger modern equipment. Each space was designed to improve efficiency, safety, and readiness—core principles in any emergency service operation. Thoughtful circulation patterns and durable materials help streamline response times while supporting daily operational needs.

Architecturally, the design balances utility with a strong civic presence. The bold red and white exterior paired with natural tones offers a nod to tradition while presenting a clean, contemporary image to the community. Interior spaces such as the kitchen and dayroom were designed with comfort and camaraderie in mind, creating a station that’s not just functional, but a home for those who serve. This project stands as a proud new chapter for the Keyes Fire Protection District.
