NEW FIRE STATION COMING SOON! The City has completed all regulatory permitting and is beginning site preparation work on the 5 acres adjacent to the Venice Police Department. This site, on East Venice Avenue between Ramsey Road and Auburn Woods Circle, will serve as an expansion of the City’s existing Public Safety Complex and the future home of the new Fire Station 52.

The fire station development will consist of two buildings totaling approximately 29,000 square feet dedicated to Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and equipment storage and apparatus bays. The new Station 52 will house Fire and EMS response crews, Fire Administration offices, and the Fire Marshal and Inspector offices. The completed project also includes includes tree mitigation plantings of 68 new trees, landscape buffers, and interior landscaping.

See location map and rendering of the future Fire Station 52 below. This new location moves the existing station 52 out of the Special Flood Hazard area, protecting critical infrastructure and equipment and providing a more centralized location for improved response coverage.
