New Fire Station 10 Strengthens High-Rise Emergency Response in Downtown Bellevue
April 15, 2026 - by Bellevue Downtown Association
For the first time in 30 years, Bellevue has opened a new fire station, marking a major investment in public safety as Downtown continues to grow.
Fire Station 10 is designed to improve response times for both fire and medical emergencies, particularly in areas with an increasing number of high-rise buildings where vertical response to upper floors is critical.
“Fire stations are more than buildings,” says Bellevue Fire Dept. Chief Dave Tait. “They are promises of services, readiness and care. Station 10 represents the safety of our residents, to the health and wellness of our firefighters, and to the future growth to our city."
Located at 1225 112th Ave. NE., the new station will better serve residents in Northwest Bellevue, downtown and BelRed areas, improving response times for fire and medical emergencies in those areas.
In the latest BTV's edition of Lake to Lake, the City of Bellevue team went to the ribbon cutting for Fire Station 10.
