The Oakland Fire Department recently unveiled its newest station at a ribbon cutting ceremony, and they had more to celebrate than just a brand new branch -- the project was also awarded LEED Gold status!

The project redeveloped a brownfield site and features solar hot water, a highly efficient HVAC system and environmentally friendly materials.
