According to the City of El Paso, the roughly $3.7 million renovations were funded through the voter-approved 2019 Public Safety Bond, which \u201cstrengthens the City\u2019s emergency response capabilities by modernizing the station and improving operational efficiency for El Paso Fire Department crews.\u201d<\/p>\n

The improvements included the following:<\/p>\n

Interior and exterior renovations<\/p>\n

New flooring, lighting control panel and upgraded fire alarm system<\/p>\n

New kitchen, restrooms, showers and decontamination room<\/p>\n

HVAC, electrical and plumbing upgrades<\/p>\n

New additions for locker rooms, an exercise area, EMS supply space, new bay doors and landscaping<\/p>\n

El Paso Fire Chief Jonathan Killings says the long-awaited completed renovations make him proud.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt makes me proud of the commitment of the citizens of El Paso to public safety. I feel proud to work for this city because this city loves its fire department and they\u2019ve shown that commitment with the public safety bond. And it also makes me proud to work for a city that can really come together administratively to get these projects done,\u201d Killings said.<\/p>\n

Luis Flores, a planning and development manager for the El Paso Fire Department, said that the crew that was stationed at Fire Station No. 22 had to be relocated.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, now that all the crews are back from, since they\u2019re relocated during the remodel, now that they\u2019re actually back in their location, it\u2019s definitely going to help assist in the response because now they\u2019re where they\u2019re supposed to be placed. So we\u2019re definitely going to respond at a better rate now,\u201d Flores said.<\/p>\n

Fire Station No. 22\u2019s renovation is part of the City\u2019s continued investment in public safety infrastructure and commitment to maintaining El Paso\u2019s standing as one of the nation\u2019s safest cities, according to the City of El Paso.<\/p>\n
