Re: wawona's new fire station at yosemite national park

built 2016 actually

WAWONA WILDLAND FIRE FIGHTING FACILITY

Yosemite National Park, California



Siegel & Strain provided design, value analysis, construction
documents and construction administration for the new Wawona Wildland
Fire Fighting Facility. The facility includes apparatus bays, work
areas, training room, offices and support areas.

The building is designed to easily add future bunk rooms and a fitness
room. The project focused on strategies for being energy efficient on
a tight budget. Construction completed in 2016.

SIZE: 5,020 sf
COST: $3.2M
STATUS: Construction completed 2016
CLIENT: National Park Service

===================

you can tell its goofy - its called a wildland fire facility but those
are 2 structural engines right there in the closeup photos - and they
are the rigs that are based there / quartered there - there also might
be a wildland engine or two there also - lets check wildcad

wildcad today shows 4 wildland engines at yosemite - all out of
service for the winter maybe - mechanically in service but not staffed
unless they can call someone back to duty or if a structural
firefighter puts on a wildfire hat) - E31 TY3 at El Portal - E32 TY3
at Wawona - E33 TY3 at Valley - E61 TY6 at El Portal - there probably
is a USFS E34 at Hodgdon Meadows also - Water Tender 2 is at El Portal
also - hope that is in service for fire calls in between the fire
stations - like a big bus or truck fire - maybe its not worth it for
the winter
