The new fire station will improve fire service coverage in the Apeldoorn region. This means that, on average, the fire service will be able to respond more quickly when a fire breaks out. All neighbourhoods can therefore count on a sufficiently rapid fire service response. The new fire station also takes into account Apeldoorn\u2019s expected growth. In this way, we are ensuring that the fire service is prepared for the future. The council\u2019s aim is to bring the new fire station into use in 2027.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s changing?<\/h2>\n

At present, the fire service still has three buildings spread across Apeldoorn: Beatrijsgaarde, Saba and Vosselmanstraat. Under the new arrangements, there will be a single central fire station. This will be the base for all full-time fire service personnel and the administrative staff of the safety region. In addition, there will continue to be two volunteer stations in Ugchelen and Beekbergen.<\/p>\n

A bridge will also be built across the canal. The bridge is important. It will enable the fire brigade to cross the canal quickly and save valuable time in the south-western part of the city.<\/p>\n

The opening of the central fire station will improve fire and rescue services for the residents of Apeldoorn. The building on Matenpoort will also house the offices of VNOG (North and East Gelderland Safety Region) and the Veluwe Environmental Agency (ODVeluwe).Together with the central fire station, these organisations form part of the Safety Centre.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n

Who does what?\u00a0<\/h2>\r\n

The safety region and the local council are working together on the new fire station. The local council owns the new building. It is also responsible for public spaces and the impact the new fire station will have on these areas \u2013 for example, on traffic in the vicinity of the station \u2013 as well as for obtaining the necessary planning permission for the construction of the bridge and the fire station.<\/p>\n

What has happened so far?<\/h2>\n

As early as 2011, a study was carried out into the possibility of establishing a single central fire station. After the municipal council agreed in early 2022 to purchase the site at Matenpoort, the following took place\u00a0further research.<\/a> The findings indicated that the Matenpoort is a suitable location for fire services. The study also examined whether renovating the existing building or constructing a new one would offer better prospects. The municipal council has opted for a new building.<\/p>\n

Final decision on the route<\/h2>\n

We commissioned a study into the connection of the new fire station on Kayersdijk. The location of the bridge and the route through the neighbourhood were thoroughly examined. We weighed up various options and assessed them against criteria such as safety, response time, route\/function and the surrounding area. We have engaged in dialogue with residents on this matter on a number of occasions and in various ways. Ultimately, the Mayor and Aldermen have decided that the route via Mezenweg is the best option. This applies only to the initial response to emergency situations with the highest priority. A new level crossing will be built over the Kanaal.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n
