On Monday, September 8, the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District will host a groundbreaking ceremony for Station 94 in downtown Brentwood.

The ceremony will begin at 11:00 am at 739 1^st Street.

According to the release:

Fire Station 94 will be a two-story brick building with traditional American Main Street architecture that pays homage to the deep historical roots and legacies of the volunteer firefighters in Brentwood. This Station, in the heart of downtown Brentwood, will evoke a sense of time and tradition, like other landmark buildings in the downtown area.

Fire Station 94 will enhance public safety and emergency response times, while continuing the historic and important community service to downtown Brentwood.

Back in June, the fire station was approved, thus overturning a planning commission vote, by the Brentwood City Council in a 3-2 vote with Mayor Susannah Meyer and Councilmember Jovita Mendoza dissenting. The design review was before the city council after the planning commission denied the fire station in a 4-0 vote on May 6. In response, Councilmember Tony Oerlemans pulled the item for council review.

Not everyone is thrilled with the fire station, the Brentwood Veterans Memorial Building website posted, “a sacred promise broken” and encourage the community to stand with Veterans.

While the county will hold a 11:00 am ceremony, the veterans will gather outside the Veterans Memorial Building (757 1^st Street) at 10:30 am to “mourn the loss of land promised to them for 100 years.” Veterans ask all supporters to join them in standing together, holding signs, and making it clear: we will not forget.
