Pretty self explanatory, the current station, although it's very nice, is too small and doesn't fit enough vehicles, especially given that it's a major City Department, we'd be in need of a bigger station, if a mapper wishes to handle this and needs ideas on what vehicles we need housing then please get back to me as a station with only 1 ambulance, 1 engine, 1 ladder and a Rancher won't be good enough for us to run our operations.
However the mapping that is currently there is also very nice and it works perfectly as a sub-station, hopefully we can sort this out.
We could add a garage for you onsite, behind prehabs for you to store additional vehicles and just have your "QRF" vehicles in the bays. What do you think?

It would be quite a hassle to relocate and remap.
To be honest, that's a perfect sub station, I like it and it works perfectly for a secondary station, I can always find y'all a new location for a bigger station if you wish, however I don't mind, a City Department needs quite a few vehicles, if you're able to add a longer and larger garage that would be amazing, however it's up to you, at the end of the day you're the head of mappers.

An emergency response team(the fire department and medical squad), should always have access to AT LEAST 5 ambulances and 5 engines, let alone there also being a few just patrolling the highest-populated areas in event that something happens. I say SFFD should have at least 8 of each vehicle. It'll fit the realism factor.
@Whiskey what I am thinking is to potentially extent the garage, maybe to the end of the street that the garage is on, as well as move the walls back to allow at least 2 vehicles on each one.
Just use an underground car park with /enter and /exit points and you'll be able to fit whatever you need. You can place a garage entrance around back to make it look visually pleasing.
I vote against redoing the map. I am in favor of a fire HQ being located downtown, preferably in a municipal complex including city hall, PD HQ, FD HQ, and the courthouses in one square. Then having the current station act as our "Station 1." If needed, we can always ask for budget from City Hall to build a second station.

Go grab some pictures of where you think it would look good so we all have an idea geographically. I think the current one is fine personally, if anything we could do what Lockhart said and add a garage with an /exit point.

The garage isn't very realistic - most departments are small like the one you've built and I've never personally come across one with a large garage, only small amounts of bays. It's actually quite nice. As stated, if we need to run more apparatus then we can just request budgeting for a second station.
As to the location of the complex, I don't really have a preference as to where it should go. It's just efficient to have the PD HQ, FD HQ, courts, and City Hall near each other. Many cities use them in real life or are beginning to move towards having one. I'm trying to find my old "City of Los Santos Municipal Complex" screenshots to show you what I mean.
Like I said, we have one station with four vehicles in total, which isn't suitable for a major city department, if we had numerous stations then that would be fine, however because we only have one, that means we need either a bigger and longer garage to fit the vehicles we need or have a completely different station with a bigger garage in a bigger area.
I don't want it to be too big, however if we could end up having this then it would be great as it would allow us to fit all the vehicles we need at the station. Bear in mind the San Francisco Fire Department have around 51 stations around the City which would obviously fit all of their vehicles that they need. Obviously we don't need and can't fit 51 stations in the server, however numerous stations would fit our needs perfectly if you don't want to build a really big one to fit what we need.
Hey dude, I went through the North and West parts of San Fierro and picked up a couple of potential locations, if you wish for me to try and find more then I will.
