Fire Stations
Fire stations are specialized buildings that house the firefighting equipment and personal protective equipment for firefighters. Some of these buildings also include living space for the firefighters. They are important to the safety of the community and contain a range of services that can be extremely useful in times of emergency. A fire station is also a great place to learn about fire safety.
In addition to housing fire apparatus and other firefighting equipment, fire stations also have administrative and training areas. The administration area of a fire station may include offices, conference rooms, and training rooms for firefighters and staff. It may also include a sleeping quarters for the chief and other support personnel, as well as a dispatch room.
