Background
The new Fire Station 9 location at 4101 Long Beach Blvd. is a two-story, state-of-the-art facility that will support the Fire Department in keeping the surrounding community safe during emergencies. The 12,779-square-foot building replaces a previously demolished office building that was on the site and will feature drought tolerant landscaping, water-efficient irrigation and fresh concrete paving, among other features. The mature trees on the west side of the property will remain in place.
The relocation of Fire Station 9 will also bring off-site improvements to the surrounding streets and alleys, detailed in the Project Features section below.
This project is part of the Elevate ’28 Infrastructure Investment Plan, a historic initiative dedicated to enhancing Long Beach parks, community facilities, mobility access, and streets. Learn more at lbelevate28.com.

Project Updates
August 2026
Construction of the new Fire Station 9 is entering its final phase, with significant progress made both inside and outside the facility. A major milestone was recently achieved with the connection of permanent electrical power, allowing the project team to begin commissioning and testing the building's mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and life safety systems. The team is working toward obtaining a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy by early September, with final Certificate of Occupancy anticipated by the end of September 2026.
The construction completion date has been updated to September to allow time for the delivery and installation of custom perimeter fence panels, which have experienced longer-than-anticipated procurement times. In the meantime, crews continue to complete interior finishes, landscaping, site improvements, and final details as the City prepares to open a modern fire station that will enhance emergency response and serve the Long Beach community for decades to come.
The City’s contractor, has completed approximately 98% of the roofing work, and the rooftop solar panel system is now in place. Exterior insulation and waterproofing for the building envelope is approximately 90% complete.
Within the station, drywall installation is complete and door frames are in place. Interior painting is currently underway, and wall tiling in the restrooms began this month. Ceiling framing is approximately 30% complete.
Construction is progressing steadily at the new Fire Station 9 project. The City’s contractor, AMG & Associates, Inc., has completed approximately 95% of the second-floor wall framing, and the installation of roof joists is now complete. Work is currently underway on the roof decking and exterior plywood sheathing for the building envelope.
Inside the station, crews are continuing with the installation of rough mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. Preparations are also in progress for the off-site underground work required to relocate the existing overhead power lines underground.
The new apparatus bay doors have been installed, and elevator installation is scheduled to begin in the coming weeks.The contractor’s hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Parking impacts for residents will be limited to the limits of the construction improvements along the frontages of the site. Efforts will be made to minimize inconveniences as a result of construction activities.

Work continues to progress at the new Fire Station 9 site. Masonry walls and structural steel framing have been completed, and the second-floor concrete slab was poured July 16.
With these major structural elements in place, work is now shifting to framing the building envelope and interior walls. Scaffolding installation is scheduled to begin July 18 to support this next phase. Rough-in work for mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems is also expected to begin later this month.
In addition, a new sewer line connection serving the facility has been completed. Southern California Edison (SCE) is scheduled to install a new utility pole on Long Beach Boulevard by the end of July. Once in place, work can begin on a new traffic signal at Long Beach Boulevard and Randolph Place.
The City’s contractor, AMG & Associates Inc., has completed the foundations for the new Fire Station 9 building. The infrastructure for underground utilities within the building’s area and the slab on grade for the building have both been installed.

Traffic signal poles and mast arms for the proposed new traffic signals at the Long Beach Blvd. and E. Randolph Place intersection have been ordered.
The contractor’s onsite working hours are Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Parking impacts for residents will be limited to work areas along the frontages of the site, and efforts will be made to minimize disruptions.
