Encinitas firefighters moved out of the city’s downtown Fire Station 1 on Tuesday after a building inspection found the unreinforced, concrete masonry structure could be unsafe in an earthquake.
Ultimately, he said, the city likely has two choices: 1) Renovate the existing, concrete block Station 1 building. Located at 415 2nd Street, that single-story structure dates from the 1950s and has never been retrofitted; 2) or demolish the current Station 1 and replace it with a new building. Station 1 serves a critical need because it, along with the city’s marine lifeguards, is a primary responder for Moonlight Beach emergencies, as well as ones along downtown’s portion of Coast Highway 101, Kranz said.
Kranz said Thursday that firefighters asked for the recent building inspection of Station 1 that turned up the seismic safety issues. And it wasn’t entirely a surprise that inspectors found the aging building needed repairs.
