Fire Station 4 

 

Fire Station 4 is located at 3322 Alameda De Las Pulgas, Menlo Park, and serves West Menlo Park, Sharon Heights, Atherton, and a secondary response to downtown Menlo Park.  This area is the hilliest part of the Fire District and some of the largest homes are located in this area.  In 2018, the District purchased 2110 Valparaiso Avenue in the amount of $3,248,033, in order to establish enough functional area to be used to support a new fire station to replace the 3,800-square-foot aging, undersized station, which was constructed in 1949.  The two lots were merged to provide sufficient space for the construction of a new fire station.  In December 2020, the Board approved a contract with Sausal Corporation for the construction of a new 13,200 sq. ft., two-story fire station.  The project broke ground in 2021 and was completed in 2024.  There are no capital improvement projects currently proposed for FY 2024-25 at Fire Station 4. Fire Station 4 has the primary response areas of unincorporated county areas, the City of Menlo Park, and the Town of Atherton. Station 4 responds to Woodside, Portola Valley, and Redwood City as part of the Closest Unit, Automatic Aid, and Move and Cover agreement. Staffed units at this station include Engine 4 with a captain and two firefighters, one being a qualified engineer, and Truck 4 with one captain, two truck operators and one firefighter. Each unit has at least one licensed paramedic providing advanced life support services.
