Construction commences on Brampton's pioneering electric fire station
Brampton Unveils Plans for First-Ever All-Electric Fire Station
The City of Brampton in Ontario, Canada, is taking a significant step towards a more sustainable future with the construction of its first-ever all-electric fire station, Station 215. If construction proceeds as planned, the station is expected to open in Fall 2026.
The new fire station, located in Ontario, will be equipped with an electric pumper truck, supplied by Ontario Power Generation (OPG), and will support an EV pumper truck. The city has also ordered additional electric fire trucks, with another one likely to be stationed at Station 215 by next year.
The new fire station will boast a fully electric infrastructure, featuring a green roof, an extra bay, a hose tower, energy-efficient HVAC equipment, and rooftop solar panels. This eco-efficient design is expected to reduce emissions in Brampton, contributing to the city's goal of creating a more sustainable city.
Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown has expressed his support for the new fire station, stating that the city's investment in EV infrastructure and a new fire station aims to ensure continuous access to emergency services. The city's decision to invest in electric fire trucks is part of a larger commitment to reducing its carbon footprint.
In a move towards a greener fleet, Brampton purchased a Rosenbauer RTX pumper truck in 2023. The addition of Station 215 to the city's fire department will further solidify Brampton's position as a leader in sustainable emergency services.
Once operational, the City of Brampton anticipates emergency response times in the area will drop by 33%. This improvement is attributed to the station's strategic location and the efficiency of electric fire trucks, which are quieter and faster than their diesel counterparts.
The news release does not mention any Tesla involvement or referral links, indicating that the city's focus is on the practical benefits of electric fire trucks, rather than brand affiliations.
The construction of Station 215 marks an exciting milestone for the City of Brampton, signalling a commitment to a greener and more efficient future. As the city continues to grow and evolve, it is clear that sustainability will remain a top priority.
