Emeryville, CA Fire Station
LUMICHRON clock is a timely feature in the fire station renovation.
The City of Emeryville California and PMC-Discovery Builders has completed renovations at the fire station on Powell Street in Alameda County. A LUMICHRON skeletal building clock on the tower keeps accurate time thanks to its automatic controller with GPS antenna on a network timeserver. The fire station clock is 65 inches in diameter with a dial color painted to match the dark sage trim and doors on the building. We use architectural-grade paints for longevity and durability of finish and color. The illuminated hands and hour markers are fabricated of stainless steel and are halo-lit with LED’s.
The firehouse doors of Captain Michael Blair and Bay Watch Engine 34 opened to the public on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon in November, 2015, Â along the shoreline in Emeryville for the Firehouse Tour, with the firemen themselves leading tours.
It is one of only three fire stations remaining in the County with a functioning brass fire-pole .
More than a hundred residents, neighbors & children attended the Saturday Alameda County Fire Station 34 Open House and BBQ. The event was held on a sunny Saturday in November, 2016, to celebrate the completion of the $1.35 million renovation and rehabilitation project that was part of The City of Emeryville’s 5-year Capital Improvement Program [PDF]. The Station had been closed since earlier this year due to a chronic roof leak issue that caused damage to the interior of the building.
Because of its Bayfront location, Engine 34 also employs a Bay Watch and water rescue service conducting maritime emergencies of windsurfers, kiteboarders and sailors in peril. According to a spokesperson, the Firehouse is amongst the most sought-after assignments in Alameda County. The acting Captain of Station 34 is Michael Blair.
The Emeryville Fire Department was consolidated with Alameda County Fire in 2012 at the recommendation of a task force to improve services and cut costs with the blessing of the Firefighters Union.
Thank you Emeryville and PMC for letting LUMICHRON Clock Company make TIME for you!
