During the planning and implementation stage, the aim was to conserve the heritage status and architectural features of the fire station, as it was an important landmark in Sea Point.
Mayoral committee member for safety and security JP Smith said: "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 communities need to know that they are well-maintained and continue to provide services for those in need for generations to come."
