Sudden Valley fire station to undergo renovation this fall

Fire Station 22, known as the Sudden Valley Station, will undergo renovations starting around October 6, as confirmed by South Whatcom Fire Chief Mitch Nolze. The county issued a building permit, allowing Tiger Construction to commence repairs and remodeling. Equipment and materials are being relocated to facilitate the renovation process. Fire crews will temporarily work from Station 21, the Geneva Fire Station, ensuring continued emergency response capabilities. Administrative services will operate out of the Valley Mall facility on Lake Whatcom Boulevard during this period.

The renovation aims to improve the station's infrastructure, addressing long-standing needs for upgrades. Station 22 is expected to reopen sometime next year, enhancing fire services in the Sudden Valley area. This investment reflects the commitment to public safety and effective emergency response in Whatcom County.
