Community Outreach & Feedback
Vote on the Architectural Character of the Future Fire Headquarters Site
As the planning and design process continues for the future San Geronimo Fire Headquarters, we’re asking the community to share input on the architectural character of the site. On Saturday, September 19 community members heard a presentation from the project's design-build team and reviewed four conceptual mood boards. If you weren't able to attend Saturday's event, we still want to hear from you!
How to participate
Watch the short video below for an overview of the four conceptual mood boards and how to review them.
Look at the four boards below. Each explores a different approach to the look and feel of the future Fire Headquarters.

Past Events
September Coffee at the Woodacre Fire Station
The September Coffee at the Commons event was held at the Woodacre Fire Station on September 19. The event featured a presentation from the project’s design build team where they invited the community to share feedback on the architectural character of the site though visual references and imagery.
Following the presentation, community members had an opportunity to ask questions and speak one-on-one with the project team about the design.
July Coffee at the Commons
We held our first Coffee at the Commons series in partnership with Marin County Parks on July 25 at San Geronimo Commons. Community members gathered for coffee, pastries, and an update on the future Fire Headquarters project.
Attendees were introduced to the design-build team working on the project, while Marin County Parks shared how the surrounding parks and open space lands are managed. The event also provided an opportunity for neighbors to connect with the project team, ask questions, and share feedback.
Community Webinar
The webinar held on Tuesday, April 21, was well attended, with more than 100 participants. The presentation included updates from Marin County Fire Department and Marin County Parks, focusing on the project timeline current progress, and how community input is helping shape project decisions. We also shared how key community priorities, including Safe Routes to School, a community garden, trail access, and local training space, are being considered alongside operational and safety needs.
The meeting began with a presentation followed by a Q&A session. All questions submitted during the webinar have been added to the project website, below.
We appreciate your continued engagement.
Community Coffee
The Marin County Fire Headquarters Community Coffee held on December 7th, 2025 was well attended, drawing more than 150 community members from throughout the San Geronimo Valley and greater Marin County. Attendees engaged in meaningful conversations with project leaders, learned about project goals and timeline, and shared what matters most to them. The event generated hundreds of comments, providing valuable input as the County moves forward with project planning. The information received will help inform future design decisions by the design build team and County project leaders.
