Sea Point Fire Station gets new look

02 August 2025

Earlier this week, Alderman JP Smith and Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis visited the Sea Point Fire Station to survey the recent upgrades to the facility.

The Station is one of the oldest in Cape Town and dates back to 1932.

The total cost of the renovation project amounts to R7 861 597.09 over two financial years (2024 - 2025) and is 95 percent complete.

Some of the renovations to the main building included painting, roof replacement, tiling, updating electrical infrastucture, new gutters and repairs to cracks along the building facade.

During the planning and implementation stage, the conservation of the heritage status and architectural features were top of mind as the fire station is an important landmark in Sea Point.

‘Our Fire and Rescue Service has a long and proud history in Cape Town and we have the responsibility to maintain and preserve our Fire Station. Fire Stations are beacons of hope for our communities in times of emergencies and it is important for communities to know that they are well maintained and continue to provide services for those in need for generations to come,’ said Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security,’ Alderman Smith.
