The facility met the district\u2019s administration and training needs. The value of the 5-acre property and the church building, its grounds, parking lots, utilities, septic and storm drainage systems and its two established WSDOT entrance\/exits to Highway 112 was appraised at $607,951, yet the CCFPD4 board bought the property, including its improvements, for $330,000 with existing funds,&nbsp;with the vision of an adjacent apparatus bay when funds became available. The purchase closed in March 2020.<\/p>\n<p>The former church building was occupied in April 2020,&nbsp;because the COVID-19 pandemic looked like it might require the facility to become a command center and as it was much better suited to support those functions. It now serves as the CCFPD4 administration building and training facility, representing one half of the soon to be improved fire station complex. The new apparatus bay will be built on the lawn between the admin building and Highway 112, saving taxpayer dollars as septic systems, stormwater systems, Crescent Water Association connections, PUD connections, communication lines, and environmental expenditures and other requirements were largely covered by the LDS property purchase.<\/p>\n<p>After the move in early 2020 the pandemic continued to add uncertainties with respect to materials, logistics, professional services, and financial markets. It was decided, with the Board&#8217;s approval, to put the building process on hold for approximately six months. In a September 2020 meeting the committee concluded that, due to many uncertainties concerning the pandemic, supply chain issues, materials and labor costs and availability, DNR income, and contractor and engineering availability, it was best to postpone the process for a while longer.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-01029c4 e-flex e-con-boxed wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no wpr-equal-height-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"01029c4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;gradient&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bb1033d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"bb1033d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Building the Apparatus Bay<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e9544f0 e-flex e-con-boxed wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no wpr-equal-height-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"e9544f0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-80f3100 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"80f3100\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A new 5,200 s.f. apparatus bay and training facility was constructed adjacent to thev<span style=\"font-size: 14px; text-align: var(--text-align);\">administration building at a total cost of approximately $3,000,000.

It concluded that Station 41 would collapse in a large earthquake, rendering the apparatus and\u00a0most of its equipment inaccessible. Recognizing this and other shortcomings, the committee decided in that same year that plans to retrofit the old building were off the table as it had been deemed inadequate and unsafe. The board was informed it would be more feasible to build a new station in a new location, a structure that met today\u2019s building codes and seismic safety requirements.<\/p><p>A Building Committee was formed in the summer of 2017, before the hiring of CCFPD4\u2019s first full-time Chief, to explore options for a new station. The new chief agreed with the former chief that the district needed a safe place to house its first response apparatus, additional space to adequately train its volunteers, and adequate operational space to perform Incident Command duties in the event of a disaster. The committee explored several possibilities and consulted with experts before submitting its recommendations, including that a new building should be located in the Joyce central area.<\/p><p>In the summer of 2018, the Board pondered how the project would be paid for. Grants were discussed and pros and cons were presented. Some financing information was gathered by Chief Waters and very low interest rate government loans were briefly discussed. A Building Finance Advisory committee was established later, in March 2022, to explore funding options and facilitate planning.<\/p><p>In April 2021, the Committee met to develop a concept and drawings, so that when asked for pre-engineering bids they would have the basic and necessary requirements for &#8220;footprint&#8221; purposes. It conceived a 60&#8242; wide by 80&#8242; long 4-bay structure that could be stretched to 100&#8242;. Pricing remained high and, given the many impacts of the pandemic, the committee remained in a holding pattern.<\/p><p>In September 2021, with the Board&#8217;s approval, the district advertised a request for qualifications for firms to supply engineering and architectural services, resulting in a contract with Zenovic &amp; Associates to execute a site feasibility study, civil engineering services, and to supply the architectural and engineering drawings for the apparatus building.\u00a0<\/p><p>The newly formed Building Committee met in mid-January 2023 to review designs, recommend a plan to move forward, and to discuss contracts with Zenovic, McNeely Design and Construction, and Pheonix Construction. A \u201cCCFPD4 Consultant Agreement\u201d with Larry McNeely was approved by the CCFPD4 board on February 1, 2023.<\/p><p>The Building Committee and Building Finance Advisory Committee are fully engaged in developing suitable fundraising strategies with the intention of completing the project in 2023-2024.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div

Its original boundaries were\u00a0defined by the Joyce\u00a0voting precinct.\u00a0The district annexed\u00a0a portion of the Eden voting precinct in the 1970s and later, through a merger, annexed the Freshwater Bay area in 2004.\u00a0Its\u00a0ambulance service (BLS) began in 1985 and has since expanded.\u00a0 The CCFPD4 district now employs a full-time chief, a part-time administrative assistant and approximately 25 volunteers, including several paramedics and ten or more EMTs. Many of its volunteers are trained as both EMTs and firefighters.\u00a0 The Joyce Community is blessed with this dedicated group of voluntary first responders who spend untold hours protecting our community from health care issues, accidents, and fires. CCFPD4 personnel responded to 373 calls in 2022, averaging about 4.5 responders per call arriving at the scene. CCFPD4 vehicles and equipment are housed in two stations. Information about these facilities and those preceding them is provided below, from the most recently occupied back in time to the construction of the first station, built in 1980.\u00a0 Administration Building In 2019, CCFPD4 commissioners seized on an opportunity to buy the nearby former Latter Day Saints Church property at 51162 Hwy 112 at a bargain price. The facility met the district\u2019s administration and training needs. The value of the 5-acre property and the church building, its grounds, parking lots, utilities, septic and storm drainage systems and its two established WSDOT entrance\/exits to Highway 112 was appraised at $607,951, yet the CCFPD4 board bought the property, including its improvements, for $330,000 with existing funds,&nbsp;with the vision of an adjacent apparatus bay when funds became available. The purchase closed in March 2020. The former church building was occupied in April 2020,&nbsp;because the COVID-19 pandemic looked like it might require the facility to become a command center and as it was much better suited to support those functions. It now serves as the CCFPD4 administration building and training facility, representing one half of the soon to be improved fire station complex. The new apparatus bay will be built on the lawn between the admin building and Highway 112, saving taxpayer dollars as septic systems, stormwater systems, Crescent Water Association connections, PUD connections, communication lines, and environmental expenditures and other requirements were largely covered by the LDS property purchase. After the move in early 2020 the pandemic continued to add uncertainties with respect to materials, logistics, professional services, and financial markets. It was decided, with the Board&#8217;s approval, to put the building process on hold for approximately six months. In a September 2020 meeting the committee concluded that, due to many uncertainties concerning the pandemic, supply chain issues, materials and labor costs and availability, DNR income, and contractor and engineering availability, it was best to postpone the process for a while longer. Building the Apparatus Bay A new 5,200 s.f. apparatus bay and training facility was constructed adjacent to thevadministration building at a total cost of approximately $3,000,000. The facility was occupied in midFebruary 2025 and became fully operational from that point forward. https:\/\/clallamfire4.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/App-Bay-Side-new.mp4 Time lapse cameras were set up to track the construction progress. The photos were taken from one camera placed on the west side of the Admin Building and the other from the roof at the east end the Admin building. The photos were then patched together to form these videos. https:\/\/clallamfire4.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/app-Bay-Roof-new.mp4 Proposed Apparatus Bay Our volunteers currently respond to calls from Stations 41 and 42.\u00a0A study was begun in early winter 2017, after consulting with some professionals in the building industry and after receiving guidance from a FEMA professional engineering study on unreinforced cinder block buildings. It concluded that Station 41 would collapse in a large earthquake, rendering the apparatus and\u00a0most of its equipment inaccessible. Recognizing this and other shortcomings, the committee decided in that same year that plans to retrofit the old building were off the table as it had been deemed inadequate and unsafe. The board was informed it would be more feasible to build a new station in a new location, a structure that met today\u2019s building codes and seismic safety requirements. A Building Committee was formed in the summer of 2017, before the hiring of CCFPD4\u2019s first full-time Chief, to explore options for a new station. The new chief agreed with the former chief that the district needed a safe place to house its first response apparatus, additional space to adequately train its volunteers, and adequate operational space to perform Incident Command duties in the event of a disaster. The committee explored several possibilities and consulted with experts before submitting its recommendations, including that a new building should be located in the Joyce central area. In the summer of 2018, the Board pondered how the project would be paid for. Grants were discussed and pros and cons were presented. Some financing information was gathered by Chief Waters and very low interest rate government loans were briefly discussed. A Building Finance Advisory committee was established later, in March 2022, to explore funding options and facilitate planning. In April 2021, the Committee met to develop a concept and drawings, so that when asked for pre-engineering bids they would have the basic and necessary requirements for &#8220;footprint&#8221; purposes. It conceived a 60&#8242; wide by 80&#8242; long 4-bay structure that could be stretched to 100&#8242;. Pricing remained high and, given the many impacts of the pandemic, the committee remained in a holding pattern. In September 2021, with the Board&#8217;s approval, the district advertised a request for qualifications for firms to supply engineering and architectural services, resulting in a contract with Zenovic &amp; Associates to execute a site feasibility study, civil engineering services, and to supply the architectural and engineering drawings for the apparatus building.\u00a0 The newly formed Building Committee met in mid-January 2023 to review designs, recommend a plan to move forward, and to discuss contracts with Zenovic, McNeely Design and Construction, and Pheonix Construction.
