Fire Station 94 will feature modern systems that prioritize firefighter health and safety, including decontamination showers, turnout extractors, a decontamination sauna, and advanced diesel exhaust removal technology.
This second fire station represents an important step forward for public safety in our region.

Spread holiday cheer by taking part in Brentwood’s 5th annual Adopt-A-Senior program. Each year, community members sign up to “adopt” a local senior by providing gifts and a grocery card to brighten their holiday season. Seniors in the program are homebound, on limited incomes, or without nearby family, and your support makes a big difference.
Wish lists will be available in early November, and gifts will be due in early December. Sign-ups are open now for anyone who would like to participate.
To register or learn more, visit the link below or call the Brentwood Senior Activity Center at (925) 516-5380.
