The city has built a new fire station to better serve residents in the Northwest Bellevue, downtown and BelRed areas. Fire Station 10 will improve response times for fire and medical emergencies in those areas, where the growing number of high-rise structures include “vertical response time” to upper floors.
Fire Station 10 is on 1225 112th Avenue Northeast. Engine 110, Aid 101, Medic 101 and Battalion 101 will be posted there. Construction, pushed back from 2020-2021 due to the pandemic and other issues, began in March 2023.
Construction Update
The building construction is complete. Fire operations will begin in March. The community will be invited to a public event later in the spring. Stay tuned for details.

Design Features
Located on a partially forested site, Fire Station 10 is bordered by residential neighbors, McCormick Park and a wetland. Design elements include electric fire engine charging stations and infrastructure. The project restored wetland habitat disturbed by previous development and maintained as many trees as possible and planted additional trees to act as a natural residential buffer.
Designed with community connection in mind, Fire Station 10 features a publicly accessible training classroom and gallery entry featuring artifacts from Bellevue Fire's history. Placing an emphasis on the natural environment, a visual walkthrough of the station design highlights the strategic and intentional incorporation of natural light and building materials.
