Osborn Engineering was responsible for coordinating the engineering design for two new fire stations with Cole + Russell Architects. Each fire station encompassed and area of approximately 15,000-SF. Value engineering was closely monitored to ensure adherence to the budget.
Fire Stations Nos. 1 and 2 both feature on-site training elements, including dry standpipe for confined space training, stokes basket, interior and exterior rappelling and ladder training and exterior bucket training.
Station No. 1 was designed on a tight site with the need to fit in with the semi-urban surroundings. Station No. 2 is located on a larger site, which allows for maintenance bays and offices, evidence storage and a work area for fire prevention. Station No. 2 also features a re-fueling station of both diesel and gasoline for all city vehicles and 10,000-gallon draughting tanks.
