Fire Station No. 4
About. Fire Station 4 was originally construction in 2002 for an all-volunteer crew. Though modifications have been retroactively made, they are not adequate enough to address the needs of a full-time Fire/EMS staff. To address these issues and provide a facility meeting best practice standards for full-time operation, Fire Station No. 4 will be decommissioned and rebuilt. The new fire station will be designed for full-time operation consisting of a 12,000 sq. ft. facility to house one 4-person engine crew, one 2-person ambulance crew, 1 Shift Commander, and 1 Fire/EMS Captain.
Scope. The new 12,000 sq. ft. fire station will be designed for future expansion to house a command vehicle and rescue truck due to the central city location. The station will include 10 dorm rooms, restrooms with showers, a kitchen/dining area, a day room, and three offices. The equipment area will consist of 3 or 4-60 ft. deep drive through apparatus bays with glazed bi-folding doors and a bay area workshop with ancillary support spaces, a treatment room, and a storage area for bunker gear and medical supplies. The new station will support a separation of contaminated/clean environments for firefighter health by including showers and equipment decontamination for personnel. The facility will be constructed to 140 mph/3 second gust wind load standards. It will also include adequate parking for full staffing of 24/7 operations and a natural gas backup generator.
The former Fire Station 4 will be renovated and repurposed to serve as a police training facility. Which will include a thirty person training room, mat room, offices, and, and weight room-- which will be relocated from its existing space in the Public Safety Building (PSB).
