The Pauma Reservation Fire Department in San Diego County is now an “all-risk” department after the tribe changed its focus from a “wild land hand crew” to the “all-risk” system to provide better fire suppression and emergency medical services to the surrounding area.

The project presented many challenges to both the architects, Nicoloff & Associates and Gamut Construction who worked as a team to bring the station online late last year. There are several unique features including a pre-engineered metal structure to house the 2-bay station with living quarters for five firemen. The design also allows for further expansion of the 7,600 sq. ft. single-story structure during the three-phase process.

At a cost of over $2.8 million the new facility gives greater peace of mind to the 2,000+ reservation residents who live on the north side of Mt. Palomar near Temecula, and are particularly vulnerable during fire season.

Nicoloff & Associates has been responsible for the design of over 30 fire facilities and often partners with Gamut Construction headquartered in Montclair, CA. Gamut recently complet

tunning fire station at Colonies Crossroads in Upland, CA and was recently awarded the contract to build three stations in Chino, CA.

Gamut Construction is close to completion on the state-of-the-art facility which is Upland’s 5th fire station. Fire Chief Michael Antonucci said there are two things he is specifically looking forward to in the new building. “Moving the station up to where our response time will be better in the area,” he said. “And getting the crews into better living spaces.” Gamut was selected to construct the station by Upland City officials because of their reputation in the public works field for completing projects on time and on budget. “Building fire stations requires very specialized skills and we are pleased to have been selected for this high profile project,” noted Mark Scarlatelli, President of the Gamut Companies.

Some big changes are coming to downtown San Clemente – a new fire station/senior center and an expansion of the San Clemente Library. Dignitaries and senior citizens gathered this afternoon at 121 Avenida Victoria for a ceremonial groundbreaking for the 8,000-square-foot Dorothy Visser Senior Center. It could open in the next 15 months, sharing a building with a new fire station that will replace a 47-year-old station at City Hall.

“Gamut Construction is proud and honored to have been chosen to build this beautiful new senior center that will mean so much to San Clemente’s senior population. Nearly 8% of households in San Clemente have at least one person over the age of 65 so the need is apparent and thanks to the generous support of the community as well as the agencies involved, it will become a reality over the next year or so. We feel fortunate to have been chosen from some very stiff competition and you can rest assured that Gamut will deliver a stunning project that this City will be proud of for years to come,” noted Gamut President Mark Scarlatelli.

San Clemente has long desired a fire station west of I-5.The new senior center will replace a 4,500-square-foot center that has operated since 1982 at 242 Avenida Del Mar, occupying one end of the landmark San Clemente LIbrary building.The new sen- ior center, officials said, will offer expanded activities, a computer/technology lab, the Mary and Gary West Foundation Wellness Center, daily lunch programs and a Meals on Wheels outreach.

In addition to building senior centers Gamut is also well known for our fire stations which require special construction expertise. The City’s new fire station will be housed right next door so when you hear the sirens it will not mean that lunch is being served in the center.

As a a coastal resort, residents want to preserve the pristine nature of San Clemente and limit the impact on the environment. Gamut is already working on LEED certified projects and we employ sustainability practices whenever possible in every facet of our construction activities.

“My thanks to the Mayor, City Council, and the building Department for placing your trust in Gamut. We are excited and ready to get started on a project that will deliver on two fronts. A much needed social center and gathering place for seniors and a strategi- cally located fire station to add to public safety in this beautiful town,” conclued Scarlatelli.

The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors agreed to incorporate Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver standards in the building design for the Crestline Library.
