The groundbreaking for a new Fire Station 35 in Crown Hill is scheduled for August 21 at 9 a.m.

The existing fire station at 8729 15th Ave. N.W. will be renovated and modernized, along with 10 others across the city, funded by the 2003 Fire Facilities and Emergency Response Levy.

The Crown Hill station will be rebuilt to meet earthquake safety standards and modern firefighting practices. It houses one engine company and a reserve engine.

Fire Station 35 is temporarily located on the grounds of the Crown Hill Center.
