SUDDEN VALLEY, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – Sudden Valley’s fire station has returned to service after a more than two-year closure.
South Whatcom Fire Authority announced Friday, July 31 that Station 22 is now fully operational.
The station was closed in January 2024 after frozen pipes caused a massive water leak, damaging its walls, ceilings and electrical equipment. The damage came just before a planned renovation of the building, leading to its prolonged closure.
The new facility includes several safety upgrades along with more functional spaces for 24/7 staffing, which the district said the old building was not designed for.
District leaders will announce a community open house date in the near future.
