I wondered---I remember Station 22 from somewhere in Bethesda.


Ground was broken on November 29 for the new Germantown/Kingsview 
Fire Station #22, which is expected to reduce emergency response 
times. Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett, Montgomery County 
Council President Mike Knapp and Councilmember Phil Andrews, chair of 
the Council's Public Safety Committee, participated in the ceremony. 
The station will be located at the intersection of Route 117 (Clopper 
Road) and Route 118 (Germantown Road) and will serve a population of 
about 86,000 people. Construction should be completed by late winter 
2008. The new station will cost about $10 million, and the total 
construction contract is $5.7 million.

The fire station will have six apparatus bays, administrative space, 
living space, private quarters, and support space and will initially 
have one engine staffed by four fire fighters. Other units may be 
added as needs are reassessed. Staffing will also include two 
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) units, each staffed by two people. 
Additional volunteer firefighters may be on-duty, as well, mainly at 
night and on weekends.
