New fire-paramedic station in Windsor Park officially opens

New building features aim to improve response capabilities and reduce carbon impact

Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Station #9
The city’s newest fire-paramedic station has been responding to calls since April 2, 2025.

Emergency crews are ready to respond to calls from our new fire-paramedic station in Windsor Park.

Station 9 features five bays for emergency vehicles. It houses a fire engine and crew, a rescue unit, the hazardous materials team, an ambulance and crew, and a fire investigator. A fire/rescue supervisor is also at the site.

“This station ensures the hazardous materials team is nearby to respond in an area with many commercial and industrial buildings,” said Tom Wallace, Deputy Chief of Support Services, WFPS.

It also houses more crews and units which will support fast responses and team training opportunities.

This project is another step forward in the 2020 Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service’s Master Plan. The goal is to better position WFPS stations around the city. Station 9 is a consolidation of two previous ones. It was built at the same location (1083 Autumnwood Dr.) as a previous station. It also replaces the station at 894 Marion St. that was nearly 70 years old.

Station 9 is at 1083 Autumnwood Dr.
Station 9 has bifold bay doors instead of overhead garage doors. This can reduce response times by 15 seconds for each fire and paramedic unit.
The building meets LEED Silver requirements for environmental building design.

Besides better response capabilities, the station also has features that make it different than other WFPS stations and City buildings. It has bifold bay doors instead of overhead garage doors. This can reduce response times by 15 seconds for each fire and paramedic unit.

A green building

The building targets Two Green Globes requirements for environmental building design.

“It was important to consider green building plans for this new building because we expect it to be here for a very long time and we need to look ahead,” said Wallace.

A geothermal heat pump is used instead of natural gas for heating and cooling. The energy recovery ventilators use less energy to ventilate the building.  The station also has high efficiency light fixtures and low flow plumbing fixtures. The roof insulation values exceed code requirements.

All these features make a different. The building will have 98.6 percent less carbon emissions each year compared to a conventional building of the same size.

The building isn’t the only thing ‘green'. The site features 20 new trees and 359 drought-resistant shrubs.
