Saint Paul Fire Station No. 7: Honoring the Past, Building for the Future

O'Neill Electric Inc. has been hard at work on the City of Saint Paul Fire Station No‌.‌ 7 Replacement! Originally built in 1886, this historic station at 1028 Ross Ave has been a cornerstone of the St. Paul community. Upgraded in 1930 with a double-bay, two-story brick house at 1038 Ross Ave, it now proudly serves as home to Engine 7, Ladder 7, and District Chief 3.

“The new station is approximately 18,500-square-feet in size, featuring three double-deep dive-through apparatus bays and one single back-in garage space for a battalion vehicle. The facility includes 15 sleeping rooms (three officer suites and 12 regular), a full size commercial kitchen, lounge area and dining area with an adjacent outdoor patio. In addition to its functional aspects, the new station prioritizes the well-being of its firefighters, incorporating best practices for firefighter health and wellness like separated gear storage areas, decontamination showers and gear washing and maintenance spaces.” – Wold Architects and Engineers

Congrats to our partners that make up the entire project team! This project isn’t just about upgrading a building - it’s about preserving history, improving safety, and ensuring the well-being of our firefighters for generations to come.
