The new, 22,000 s/f building is designed for the long future to be an operational, safe, and sustainable facility that aims for net carbon zero certification from the International Future Living Institute. The two-story building will include a five-lane apparatus bay with adequate space for safe movement around vehicles, sufficient storage of all personal protective equipment, and a new, modern training and emergency operation center for the town. To protect the health and safety of firefighters, the new station will also include “hot” and “cold” zones to separate contaminated equipment and gear from the station ‘s living and public spaces, as well as decontamination for the firefighters and their protective equipment. To help meet net carbon zero certification for the building, 100% of its energy will be generated renewably by photovoltaic equipment on site.
