Fire stations and firehouses are the homes away from home for countless firefighters across the country. It is therefore essential that these spaces go beyond basic living quarters to include areas where firefighters can connect with other members, where they can level up their training and career development, and where they can retreat to a comfortable space after a call if needed.
This special resource details the station design “must-haves” straight from the firefighters who live and work in these stations, whether brand new, under renovation or in need of some work. Read about what firefighters want in their living quarters, community spaces and apparatus bays, how they want to see health and wellness integrated into the station, plus ideas for training areas.
