Cosumnes Community Services District Fire Station #77
Cosumnes Community Services District
For the fastest-growing edges of a city, emergency response time represents the gap between a close call and a tragedy. Fire Station 77 was built to close that gap for Elk Grove's rapidly expanding southern communities, serving a corridor that now includes major residential developments, Cosumnes River College, and the Sky River Casino. It is the first new fire station the region has seen in over two decades.
It is also the fifth new station Lionakis has designed for the Cosumnes Community Services District. The design continuity runs deep and reflects not just current best practices, but an accumulated understanding of how CCSD operates, what its crews need, and where the field is heading. Nowhere is that more evident than in the station's approach to firefighter health. The layout is organized around strict zone separation by isolating "hot zones" where contaminants enter from the clean spaces where crews eat, sleep, and recover. Pressurized vestibules, dedicated hand wash stations, and a separate turnout gear laundry and decontamination space work together to limit exposure in alignment with NFPA guidelines.
The remainder of the program supports the full arc of a firefighter's shift with a secure public lobby, station and Captain's offices, individual sleeping quarters, kitchen, dining, dayroom, private patio, fitness area, EMS storage, and comprehensive utility support.
