The City is preparing for the design and future construction of Manteca Fire Station No. 6 to support the community's continued growth and maintain effective emergency response services.
RRM Design Group is uniquely qualified to provide the required architectural and engineering design services, having previously prepared the bridging documents for Manteca Fire Station No. 5.

Fire Station No. 6 is intended to mirror the proven operational layout and functionality of Fire Station No. 5, while incorporating modifications necessary for its new location, including site-specific design, expanded apparatus bays, and updated exterior architectural elevations.
