This
state-of-the-art fire station/headquarters for the
City of Decatur is one example of why BWC
has become a leader in fire station design.This headquarters, with 29,000 sq. ft., can
support up to seventeen firefighters per shift, houses
administrative offices and an office for the local
Fire Marshall.
It
also contains a large meeting room which
is open to the public for reserved use.A full basement provides ample storage and
fitness training space.
Understanding
the pressures faced by today’s firefighters.The second floor was designed exclusively to
serve the firefighters’ needs and includes such
amenities as a private TV/card room, large kitchen
which opens onto an exterior wooden deck and
individual dormitory cubicles which allow for some
privacy while relaxing in bed.
Materials were carefully selected in conjunction with the
station’s desire for quality materials while
maintaining a residential appeal.
The
apparatus bay and storage area includes five bays
(three drive-through), SCUBA and SCBA storage rooms,
turnout gear storage, and general storage.A special vehicle exhaust system was also a
part of the design.
