The following section describes current facilities in greater detail, as well as proposed future facility deployment and rationale. Note, this overview does not include the proposed net new facility in Waverley West.
The facility is not protected by an automatic sprinkler system and does not have a wired alarm system. The station also lacks an emergency backup power generator. The facility is also ill-equipped for a mixed-gender workforce, and inadequately sized for its typical staff complement. The overall condition of the building is poor, and it should be considered for replacement.
Year built: 1965
Overall facility condition: Poor
Current condition recommendation: Replace
Proposed future facility deployment strategy: Site of new consolidated station with Station No. 5 & Station No. 31
The facility is not protected by an automatic sprinkler system and does not have a wired alarm system. The station also lacks an emergency backup power generator. The facility is also ill-equipped for a mixed-gender workforce. In general, the facility is in good condition with the exception of the kitchen/dayroom area, which is in poor condition.

Year built: 1971
Overall facility condition: Fair
Current condition recommendation: Update
Proposed future facility deployment strategy: Remain Station No. 20; however, relocate further west if possible (area of Portage Avenue and Cavalier Drive)
The station is generally in good condition. Though it is one of the more modern stations, it was not constructed with a mixed-gender workforce in mind.

With these improvements, the station will serve the community for several years.
Year built: 2007
Overall facility condition: Good
Current condition recommendation: Maintain
Proposed future facility deployment strategy: Remain Station No. 21
The station is poorly laid out for emergency response. It is not protected by an automatic sprinkler system and does not have a wired alarm system.

However, the cost of a major renovation should be weighed against the cost of replacement due to the amount of work anticipated. The proposed location is based on call locations.
Year built: 1983
Overall facility condition: Fair to poor
Current condition recommendation: Update
Proposed future facility deployment strategy: Remain Station No. 22; however, relocate further south if possible (area of Waverley Street and Scurfield Boulevard)
This facility is poorly configured and not effective for emergency response, and there are multiple safety and sanitary issues. It is not protected by an automatic sprinkler system and does not have a wired alarm system. The station also lacks an emergency backup power generator.

Year built: 1984
Overall facility condition: Fair
Current condition recommendation: Update
Proposed future facility deployment strategy: Remain Station No. 25; however, relocate further east if possible (area of Wayoata Street and Kildare Avenue East)

Year built: 1991
Overall facility condition: Good
Current condition recommendation: Maintain
Proposed future facility deployment strategy: Remain Station No. 26
The station is generally of good design for emergency response and well equipped for a mixed-gender workforce. With routine general repair and maintenance, the facility will serve Winnipeg for many years. The installation of an automatic fire sprinkler system and emergency generator is recommended.
Year built: 2011
Overall facility condition: Good
Current condition recommendation: Maintain
Proposed future facility deployment strategy: Remain Station No. 27
The station is over 100 years old and is in poor condition. This facility was not designed for modern equipment, nor is it efficient for emergency response, and poses a challenge for safe egress in the event of an emergency requiring a quick exit from the building. The roof leaks, it has damaged bay doors, and evidence of rodent infestation. It is not protected by an automatic sprinkler system and does not have a wired alarm system. Due to its age, configuration, and poor condition, it is recommended to be consolidated.
Year built: 1914
Overall facility condition: Poor
Current condition recommendation: Consolidate
Proposed future facility deployment strategy: Consolidate with Station No. 4
This facility is in fair condition overall; however, the station does not have a dedicated dorm area and personnel sleep on couches rather than beds. This is also one of the only stations not equipped with an apparatus exhaust system. It is not protected by an automatic sprinkler system and does not have a wired alarm system. Though crews could be reassigned to other facilities if effective emergency response can be maintained; the preferred recommendation is to replace the facility due to its small size. It's a single-purpose station that does not properly accommodate crews. It can be consolidated into a dual-purpose station.
Year built: 1992
Overall facility condition: Fair
Current condition recommendation: Consolidate
Proposed future facility deployment strategy: Consolidate with Station No. 1
This facility is in fair condition overall; however, the station does not have a dedicated dorm area and personnel sleep on couches rather than beds. This is also one of the only stations not equipped with an apparatus exhaust system. It is not protected by an automatic sprinkler system and does not have a wired alarm system. Due to its size and configuration, it is recommended that the station be replaced or that the crew be moved to another station more suited for emergency response personnel.
Year built: 1989
Overall facility condition: Fair
Current condition recommendation: Consolidate
Proposed future facility deployment strategy: Consolidate with Station No. 19
The Emergency Mechanical Services Branch is co-located at the WFPS Training Academy. The portion of the building from which it operates was originally designated for garbage truck repair. The repair area is small relative to the size of the WFPS fire apparatus fleet and the shop does not have a lift that allows mechanics to raise equipment for repair. The facility also has poor lighting, uneven floors, inadequate parts storage, and an under-powered air compressor. A remodel of the facility with additional work and storage space should be considered. Additional space and organization is necessary before more staffing may be fully utilized. The addition of an automatic fire sprinkler system and emergency generator is also recommended.
Year built: 1980
Overall facility condition: Poor
Current condition recommendation: Update
Proposed future facility deployment strategy: Not applicable
