South Lake Tahoe bought a site for $940K to build a new fire station, replacing the 1957 facility.

The City of South Lake Tahoe has bought a 1.53-acre vacant site at 2161 Lake Tahoe Blvd. for $940,000 using Measure S funds to build a new one-story fire station, replacing the 1957 facility at 2101 Lake Tahoe Blvd. The new station will include apparatus bays, firefighter quarters, offices, solar panels, EV charging, and a drive-through bay. City officials say it will improve emergency response and firefighter well-being. BMO, the former owner, supported the project as part of its community commitment. Construction is planned after the existing station remains in service.
