Fire station 63 is on W. Horizon Drive off Knik Goose Bay Road. In 2009, busy Central Mat-Su Fire Dept. responded to some 4,000 calls for medical, fire and rescue. The Knik-Fairview area was recently described as the fifth largest community in Alaska with more than 12,000 residents. The Borough overall has been the fastest growing region in Alaska for more than a decade. The fire station was paid for by fire service area funds, the Horizon station for $2.5 million. Gary Wolf Architects, Inc. designed the building. Howdie, Inc. built the facilities. The Horizon station was built to include a sleeping area for staff during large-scale emergencies. Five beds, a kitchen, and day room are included. Firefighters generally do not sleep at the stations. All frontline firefighters are paid on-call, when they respond and train, and often have another job.
