The exterior of recently renovated Glendale Fire Station 153 at at 14061 N 59th Ave., just north of Thunderbird Road.
In April, the Glendale Fire Department commemorated the traditional commissioning of the completely redone Fire Station 153 at 14061. N 59th Ave.
From the raising of the flag, symbolizing unity and duty, to the truck push-in ceremony, a nod to the days of horse-drawn fire wagons and the teamwork that still defines us today — every moment reflected the pride and purpose behind the badge.
May 1 was the first day of operations at the fire station and the crew of Engine 153 received hands-on training with the Stryker’s LIFEPAK 35 Monitor/Defibrillator.
On June 26, Mayor Jerry Weiers cut the ribbon on the new station to officially mark its full opening, with most of the City Council, firefighters and department leadership there.
The fire station renovation was part of the $78 million public safety bond approved by Glendale voters.
Glendale Fire Station 153 was built in 1973, serving the then- growing area of the city north of downtown.
