[Scan-DC] Montgomery Station 22

[oldsdoug at hotmail.com]

Thx Jeff - yeah, 22 was on Bells Mill Road in Bethesda... I used to be able to pick it out but can't any more - not sure what it is now!  It was closed sometime after 26 (at Democracy and 270) opened, and sometime before 1981... in Jan 1981 I started working with a guy who had been stationed there!

Montgomery has also just dispatched "Box 22-07" for smoke in an
apt 18037 Chalet Drive #202 for smoke in the apt, opns on talkgroup
7-Golf... company 29 first due... Co. 22 is a new firehouse, nearing
completion but not yet in service to my knowledge, but apparently the box
areas have already been revised.


LA clear, KMG-941




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.
