Fire Station 6 & Regional Fire Training Center
The new $80 million Regional Fire Training Center will be constructed at the City’s Hayward Executive Airport as a campus with classrooms, offices, a training tower and other facilities for urban search and rescue, and other types of emergency response, as well as a new Hayward Fire Station #6. The joint project was funded and financed through the voter-approved Hayward Measure C half-cent sales tax and Chabot-Las Positas Community College District Measure A bond proceeds.
The training center will be the new home of and allow for expansion of Chabot’s fire academy. Through the partnership, Hayward Fire Department has added both a world-class training facility and a new fire station that will serve Hayward Executive Airport, surrounding neighborhoods and industrial areas west of Interstate 880. High school students in Eden Area Regional Occupational Program career preparation courses taught by Hayward firefighters also will benefit.

June 2014, voters approved Measure C, which authorized the City to increase the sales tax rate by one-half cent for twenty years to among other things restore and maintain City services and facilities, including firefighting/emergency medical services. Based on the facility needs assessment report completed in October of 2014, by Ross Drulis Cusenbery (RDC) for Fire Stations 1-6 and the Fire Training Center, it was found that Fire Station 6 and the Fire Training Center needed to be reconstructed and expanded.
May 2015, Council authorized the City Manager to negotiate and execute an agreement with RDC for design services for Fire Station 1-6 and the Fire Training Center Project.
April 2016, staff and the consultant team visited the Fort Worth Public Safety Complex designed by Tommy Abercrombie Planning and Design, one of RDC’s consultant teams. One of the key observations was the importance of a layout designed to allow multiple groups to use the facility simultaneously. The proposed Fire Training Center will serve the ever-growing training needs of the fire department, and potentially other agencies that travel long distances to other locations for training that is not currently available in the Bay Area.
June of 2016, staff from Chabot-Las Positas Community College District (District) and the City have met to explore partnership in the Fire Training Center. Both the City and the District recognized the mutual benefits of expanding the Fire Training Center to be a joint center and training program with dedicated classroom spaces, offices, and shared use of the training grounds.
October 2017, the District’s Board of Trustees passed a motion directing staff to return with a proposed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the City.
July 2018, Council authorized the City Manager to negotiate and execute the MOU with the District to establish the basis for a ground lease, design, and construction of the Fire Training Center. The District agreed to contribute up to $20 million for the design, construction, and furnishing of the District’s Facilities at the Fire Training Center.
March and April 2019, Council approved the plans and specifications for Fire Station 6 and Fire Training Center Project - Abatement and Deconstruction of Existing Buildings and called for bids.
September 2019, demolition of the old Fire Station 6 and the Fire Training Center was completed.
