Monument Fire District, NV5, OZ Architecture, and Flintco have broken ground on Monument Fire Station #3—a new 20,000-square-foot facility that expands the district’s capacity to protect a growing community and gives its firefighters the infrastructure they deserve. This project follows three successful remodels with MFD —two fire stations and the district’s official headquarters—all delivered by Flintco.
The project is anchored in three commitments: construction excellence, dedicated service, and community investment. Together, they define the “Foundations of Service” — and the standard against which every decision will be measured. The result will be a modern fire station built for the demands of a region on the rise and designed to serve Monument for decades.
“Monument Fire Station #3 is a project rooted in trust, collaboration, and a shared duty to serve the community,” said Flintco Vice President and Area Manager J.W. Stamison. “We’re proud to partner with Monument Fire District, NV5, and OZ Architecture to deliver a facility that embodies this community’s strength and supports the firefighters who protect it every day”.
The 20,300-square-foot facility is purpose-built for the demands of modern fire service. A four-bay pull-through apparatus bay provides efficient, flexible vehicle access for rapid emergency response, while administrative offices and a fitness room support daily operations and personnel readiness.
The station’s residential wing gives equal attention to the people inside: 10 bedrooms and bathrooms offer private quarters for on-duty personnel, and a kitchen, dining room, and dayroom provide the communal spaces that sustain crew culture and cohesion. The result is a facility designed not just to function, but to serve — built to the standard Monument’s firefighters have earned.
Monument Fire District has long served as a cornerstone of community safety, and the new Station #3 represents a significant enhancement to that mission. Strategically located to improve response coverage, the new facility equips firefighters with modern infrastructure, operational efficiency, and quality-of-life improvements that enable them to perform at their best—every shift, every call.
“Stations 1 and 3 previously overlapped in coverage, so relocating Station 3 to a new site near I-25 — close to Lewis-Palmer High School and the Tri-Lakes YMCA — was a much-needed improvement for the community and for our fire crews,” said Division Chief Jamey Bumgarner. “Built in the 1960s, the original station no longer met the needs of our growing district. The new facility will feature four pull-through bays for faster response, a decontamination area to support firefighter health and safety, and upgraded living and meeting spaces to better serve our crews during 48-hour shifts.”
The new facility reflects what the district’s leadership has made clear is non-negotiable. “Firefighter safety and ability to respond to the community are paramount,” said Fire Chief Andy Kovacs.
Projects like Monument Fire Station #3 do not happen without community support. The district’s investment in this facility reflects Monument residents’ commitment to their own safety and future — a shared decision to build the infrastructure that will continue to serve families, businesses, and first responders.
When complete, Monument Fire Station #3 will strengthen Monument’s ability to protect its people—now and into the future.
