FIRE STATION CONDITION ASSESSMENT
FIRE STATION ASSESSMENT OVERVIEW
The City of Glendale (City) requested Citygate Associates, LLC (Citygate) to conduct a Fire Services Master Plan Assessment. The scope of work for this study included an on-site assessment of Glendale Fire Department (Department) stations, a facility records review, and staff interviews as appropriate to identify key findings and make recommendations based on an operational and fire executive management perspective.
The following Department fire stations were visited by Citygate and reviewed for conformance with current California Building Code standards, the California Essential Services Act, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards, and National Fire Protection Association ( NFPA) standards—with a focus on health, safety, privacy, and access for all Department personnel:
Fire Station 21 – 421 Oak St.
Fire Station 22 – 1201 S. Glendale Ave.
Fire Station 23 – 3303 E. Chevy Chase Dr.
Fire Station 24 – 1734 Canada Blvd.
Fire Station 25 – 353 N. Chevy Chase Dr.
Fire Station 26 – 1145 N. Brand Blvd.
Fire Station 27 – 1127 Western Ave.
Fire Station 28 – 4410 New York Ave.
Fire Station 29 – 2465 Honolulu Ave.
Citygate’s on-site assessments of the fire stations were to confirm conditions against the available records and oral history, and to assess their conformance with both (1) the applicable standards cited in the section to follow and (2) recognized best practice employee health and safety standards.
Key Themes
1. Out of 9 fire stations, three are more than 50 years old and three are more than 60 years old. The stations are dated and showing signs of significant wear and tear despite the best efforts of maintenance staff.
2. All of the fire stations but Fire Station 21 are undersized by modern fire service standards.
Glendale Fire Department
Fire Services Master Plan Vol. 4—Facilities Assessment
3. Most of the fire stations are not compliant with current Building Code, ADA , or NFPA standards, and the stations were built before the Essential Services Buildings Seismic Safety Act of 1986.
4. All fire station sleeping, locker room, and restroom facilities were developed based on historically all-male fire crews and lack gender inclusion and privacy.
5. All fire stations need structural modification to comply with the California Building Code for Seismic Activity per an independent Property Seismic Inspection and Analysis conducted in 2020 by Wheeler & Gray Consulting Engineers.
6. Plymovent diesel truck exhaust systems are not functional in all apparatus bays of multiple stations due to incomplete conversion from pneumatic to magnetic release latches to the apparatus.
REGULATORY STANDARDS
California Building Code
The International Code Council launched the International Codes Series (I-codes) at the end of the 1990s as a singular replacement for the regional building codes. Locally, the California Building Code is borne out of the International Building Code and lo cal jurisdictions adopt the California Building Code as their own guidance.
The International Building Code provides a tiered approach for the required structural performance of a building and, as essential facilit ies, fire stations are subject to the strictest structural requirements. While an office building is required to be built to protect life in the event of a disaster—which means the occupants survive but the building may be condemned —a fire station must be designed to protect life and be immediately occupiable post -disaster. This means a fire station will be better able to resist the shaking of an earthquake or the high winds of an unusual storm.
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
The ADA, enacted in 1990, establishes a series of standards for accessibility for persons with identified disabilities (e.g., 2010 ADA Standards). Requirements for fire stations as public buildings are scoped under Title 2 of the ADA, and public facilities are subject to higher accessibility standards than commercial and residential developments.
With a few exceptions for building support spaces, fire station facilities, as Title 2 public buildings, are required to be fully accessible for disabled staff and the public. Cogent arguments have been made for why some areas within a fire station, such as a sleeping room, should not be considered “public” or “accessible.” Similarly convincing cases have been made relative to the mandatory Glendale Fire Department
Fire Services Master Plan Vol. 4—Facilities Assessment
Fire Station Condition Assessment Page 3
fitness requirements for firefighters. Nonetheless, the ADA law is clear: spaces are not exempt based on a policy that excludes persons with disabilities from certain work, and a fire facility is considered a public building in its entirety.
California Essential Services Buildings Seismic Safety Act (ESBSSA) In 1986, the California Legislature determined that buildings providing essential services should be capable of providing those services to the public after a disaster. Their intent in this regard was defined in legislation known as the Essential Services Buildings Seismic Safety Act of 1986 and includes requirements that such buildings shall be:
“Designed and constructed to minimize fire hazards and to resist… the forces generated by earthquakes, gravity, and winds” (Excerpt from Health and Safety Code section 16001).
The enabling legislation can be found in the California Health and Safety Code, Chapter 2, sections 16000 through 16022. In addition, the California Building Code cited above defines how the intent of the act is to be implemented in Title 24, Part 1 of the California Building Standards Administrative Code, Chapter 4, Articles 1 through 3. Only three of the City’s 9 fire stations were built as Essential Services facilities (Fire Station 21, Fire Station 22, and Fire Station 25).
NFPA 1500
NFPA 1500 – Standard on Fire Department Occupational Safety, Health, and Wellness Program is a non-mandated, generally accepted best practice consensus standard for fire station design relative to cancer prevention, firefighter fitness, and space for firefighters to unwind from the stresses of the job.
Newly built fire stations include differential air pressure zones where positive-pressure airflow or an air curtain can prevent contaminants in the apparatus bays from entering the station living and work areas.
Since departments are required to have fitness programs, many departments opt for a separate physical fitness space. Indoor and outdoor fitness areas have been used when space is limited; however, they should have easy access to the apparatus bays in the e vent of a dispatch while exercising.
Training rooms allow crews to learn about the latest firefighting, EMS, and safety and health programs, so ample space that provides a functional learning space is part of this standard.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) needs to be stored in areas away from the sun and with little fluorescent lighting. The space also needs ventilation to remove particulates from the area and needs to be physically isolated from indoor living, sleeping, and work areas. Most of the PPE storage spaces in Glendale fire stations are in the apparatus bays.
Glendale Fire Department
Fire Services Master Plan Vol. 4—Facilities Assessment
NFPA 1851
NFPA 1851 – Standard on Selection, Care, and Maintenance of Protective Ensembles for Structural Fire Fighting and Proximity Fire Fighting provides non -mandated, consensus best practice guidelines for the maintenance and care of firefighter PPE. This standard recommends separate laundry facilities for contaminated PPE from facilities used to launder personal clothing/uniforms, bedding, and bath towels. Laundry areas continue to evolve and are being separated so that personal belongings can be cleaned in the living areas and PPE can be laundered in a separate room or adjacent to the apparatus bays. In so doing, contaminated PPE does not enter the living spaces of the facility. Only some of the laundry spaces at Glendale fire stations are in the apparatus bays.
NFPA 1710
NFPA 1710 – Standard for the Organization and Deployment of Fire Suppression Operations, Emergency Medical Operations, and Special Operations to the Public by Career Fire Departments provides guidelines for fire station design to include access to the apparatus bays from first and second floor (as applicable) interior living/work areas.
INDUSTRY STANDARDS
Fire departments have the primary goals of providing safe, responsive service to the communities they serve while providing a safe environment for firefighters to work in. There are industry-wide design practices common to fire departments across the country that help ensure facilities assist departments in achieving these goals.
Response
Fire station s are located with in communities based on careful analysis of the response times required to reach different locations in a service area and provide service within set , standard timeframes. Location is the first criteria to support response. Site circulation across the front apron and connection to roadways determines the ability of apparatus to respond rapidly once firefighters are in a vehicle. Clear lines of sight , and traffic control at busy roadways , contribute to fast response. Alerting systems with clear signalization and visual /audible direction provide firefighters with the information they need to respond. Apparatus bay doors that operate quickly and automatically allow the apparatus to exit the station when the crew is ready. A plan layout of the facility should be organized to provide firefighters with direct access to the apparatus bay from all areas of the station as quickly as possible. Priority should be given to the areas the firefighters may be in most, such as office areas and living areas. Sleeping areas should be prioritized with a direct path to the apparatus bay as longer internal response to the apparatus occurs when the firefighters are sleeping. Areas that may need to be visited as part of response should be placed on Glendale Fire Department
Fire Services Master Plan Vol. 4—Facilities Assessment
Fire Station Condition Assessment Page 5
the path to that apparatus bay, such as radio charging stations and response alcoves providing information for the call.
Community Presence and Access
A fire station is a connection to the community to provide service and a destination for assistance and care for those in danger. The fire station should be accessible to the community. Parking and walkways to the lobby of the station and emergency phone s hould follow ADA requirements to allow all members of the community to be able to approach the station for assistance. Many of Glendale’s fire stations are joined with a library, thereby increasing the probability of public interaction. Glendale fire stations are also surrender sites under California’s Safely Surrendered Baby program. Station site configuration, building orientation, and exterior facade should provide a clear understanding of the location a community member should go to receive help, often the primary entry of the facility.
Safety – Vehicular Circulation
Site pathways and features should provide access and direction from the parking and pedestrian way to the pedestrian entry without crossing the path of department vehicle response. This provides community safety and more rapid response ability. When a stat ion’s front apron is near a street sidewalk, the apron should have enough depth for fire apparatus to be fully out of the station with the ability to stop before entering the roadway without blocking the pedestrian way. In cases where this is not possible, warning beacons and paving marking are recommended for pedestrians during a response.
Response Egress and Roadway Entry
Traffic analysis should be performed on roadways upon which fire stations respond. Traffic control or notification devi ces may be required depending on lines of sight or traffic volumes. Some conditions may need “ Keep Clear” striping to avoid vehicles blocking egress of the apparatus if near an intersection where vehicles may be stopped. Flashing beacons may be needed to alert oncoming vehicles that a response is occurring if there is impairment to the line of sight. Con trol of adjacent signalization may be required to clear and control an adjacent intersection as the apparatus is entering.
Return Drive-Through
Apparatus should have a safe means of returning and entering the apparatus bay of a fire station.
Whenever possible, providing drive -through capability for all apparatus is the safest process for returning to the station. This requires adequate circulation to the rear of the station to enter through rear bay doors, avoiding any reason to back the vehicle up, which is a higher-risk maneuver. Only in circumstances where there is no other option —and when there is a front apron that is large enough to allow for a safe , three-point back-in operation without utilizing the public roadway — Glendale Fire Department
Fire Services Master Plan Vol. 4—Facilities Assessment
should a back-in return be considered. Careful site planning and warning features should be used to separate any public visitor vehicles or pedestrians from the back -in area if this is to occur.
Bollards should be located at door entry points and around items to protect on-site equipment.
Safety – Hazardous Material Decontamination
Firefighter health and safety is a top priority to protect personnel from the hazardous materials that they encounter when fighting fires and from the vehicle exhaust of apparatus. A facility can encourage the proper decontamination process a firefighter must follow when returning from a call. Placing the decontamination room, turnout cleaning , and turnout storage along a linear and unobstructed path to the apparatus bay supports the process of decontamination and turnout cleaning prior to entering the apparatus bay. The addition of hand-washing sinks and boot-cleaning stations at any entrance to the living area , in addition to the decontamination zone , helps firefighters maintain a clean living area called a “Clean Zone,” which is separate from the “Hot Zone” of the apparatus bay and support area.
A facility should also provide an air-lock vestibule as a “Transition Zone” at the connection points of the “Clean” and “Hot” zones to keep vehicle exhaust from the apparatus bay from infiltrating the firefighters’ living and sleeping quarters. Firefighter processes for decontamination when returning from a call and when entering the “Clean” living area will help protect the long -term health of the firefighters living at the station. At the same time, the station layout can encourage these proper cleaning processes to help embed healthy practices into the culture of the department.
Public To Private Separation
Fire stations are not only a beacon and refuge to the community in times of emergency, they are also home to the firefighters while on duty. A separate lobby space should be provided to allow for the public to come to the station. This lobby should be secure and separate from the private living area of the fire station. Ideally, the office function of the fire station should be as close as possible to the lobby so that on-duty firefighters can monitor the lobby . This design layout also provides a transition from the public space to the public interaction office area to the living area.
Security
The building and site of a fire facility should be secure from theft and unauthorized visitors to protect equipment and personnel so they can perform their service to the community unhindered.
Special equipment is a valuable asset to the community and requires special training to operate.
The rear apron provides an area to locate this equipment , as well as for the parking of personal vehicles of the firefighters on duty. This area should be protected with a security fence and vehicle gate. Visitor entry and parking can be located outside this secure fence. The entry of the building itself should have a lobby with a secure door that allows visitors to come to the station without Glendale Fire Department
Fire Services Master Plan Vol. 4—Facilities Assessment
Fire Station Condition Assessment Page 7
having access to the firefighter living areas. This allows firefighters to serve the community in a safe way.
Equity And Inclusion
Traditional fire stations provided facilities that had limited privacy , with open floor plans in dormitories, locker rooms, and restrooms. This reduced the opportunity for a diverse staff by not providing equitable and inclusive accommodations. The traditional , open-dorm fire station sleeping and restroom facilities were developed based on historically all-male fire crews. For fire departments to be inclusive and recruit, retain , and support a diverse staff, facilities that accommodate all must be provided. Private sleeping areas and individual private restrooms and showers allow for any firefighter to maintain equitable living conditions. This encourages diversity within the department by providing a facility that has a layout that is inclusive to all.
Culture
Because the profession of firefighting relies heavily on the collaboration and teamwork of each crew to be able to perform together and live together in the firehouse, the opportunities for privacy should be balanced with spaces that encourage the continue d culture of collaboration as a team.
The apparatus bay and apparatus support spaces are areas where firefighters work together in daily duties on the job. The living area should be configured to foster informal, casual, and more formal collaboration with areas of meeting, relaxing and eating together. The kitchen, dining , and day room areas should be organized to maintain the traditional collaborative culture of the fire department, while the firefighter sleeping areas should provide equitable space to allow each firefighter to maintain their own desired level of privacy.

Glendale Fire Department
Fire Services Master Plan Vol. 4—Facilities Assessment
Finding #36: The training tower and related props need some major repairs and/or updating.
ASSESSMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
Citygate’s recommendations to address these findings are as follows . They are numbered in the same manner as their placement in Volume 1—Technical Report.
Recommendation #14: The City must prioritize fire stations for substantial remodels or replacement. Citygate recommends the three
following reconstruction phases. As execution of these
phases will require several years, in each phase and order, some stations will require minor remodeling to “buy
time” for the Department’s facility needs.
Phase 1 – Rebuild stations 29, 28 and 26.
Phase 2 – Rebuild stations 23, 24 and 27.
Phase 3 – Update and remodel (where needed) stations
21, 22, and 25.
Recommendation #15: Select and hire a veteran fire station design firm to prepare building and site plans and provide actual design- based construction cost estimates.
Recommendation #16: City finance staff can explore multi -year financing strategies (e.g., General Obligation Bonds, Certificates of Participation, and Lease-Back arrangements, etc.) so that adequate consideration is given to their possible benefits or consequences.
Recommendation #17: Replacement and remodeling must include solutions for finding adequate space for physical fitness in areas away from listed carcinogens produced by fire apparatus.
Recommendation #18: Fire station living spaces should be designed to accommodate personnel of all gender identities.
Glendale Fire Department
Fire Services Master Plan Vol. 4—Facilities Assessment
Fire Station Condition Assessment Page 13
Recommendation #19: Building components throughout the City’s fire stations need to be upgraded with new equipment such as station
alerting, overhead doors, traffic warning signal lights at doors or close by, and high -efficiency HVAC that
provides comfortable work and living spaces. Remove
carpet and replace with polished concrete where
applicable.
Recommendation #20: Coordinate with the City Facilities Management Division to affect needed repairs/updating of the training tower and related training props.

Although a large station, there is limited ability to expand the number of offices, restrooms, dormitories, and the kitchen within the current footprint. Limited parking when all of staff is on duty. Showing wear and tear in many areas.
Dormitories and restrooms should be reconfigured for better gender inclusion and privacy.
Additional extractors and washer/dryers are needed for PPE decontamination Electrical panels are unable to support required load in some areas.
Two fire poles for rapid egress
Multiple 2½” water supplies in the rear of the station (used for drill and filling apparatus) were disconnected over 15 years ago when a repair was made to the building fire protection system.

Overall facility Condition: POOR
Station is vastly undersized by modern fire service standards in many aspects including apparatus floor, living quarters, kitchen, and physical fitness space is in apparatus bay.
Station is very worn despite routine maintenance. Remove carpet throughout station and do polished concrete.
Reconfigure kitchen. Remove food cabinets and move water heater.
Dormitories and restrooms should be reconfigured as soon as possible for better gender inclusion and privacy.
Station can only accommodate daily 12-hour BLS ambulance due to lack of available dormitories.
Per GFD staff, a future construction project (late 2024 – early 2025 completion) is in the planning stage for reconfiguring existing space with 6 individual dorms and gender-neutral restrooms/showers. This will provide a more functioning facility for both male and female personnel and will also allow BLS 27 to be staffed at FS27 on a 24-hour basis. As it will remain in the station’s existing lot footprint, it will not provide an opportunity to correct other significant deficiencies.
Inadequate parking for personnel’s vehicles.

• Move forward with the plans from IDS Group
• Add additional scope of work to include:
- Create (2) AO Dorms utilizing the shop area and current laundry area - New kitchen, to include removing water heater and utilizing space behind current food cabinets towards TV room to gain more space
- Replace windows with triple pane throughout for noise reduction and climate control • If this facility is not relocating, add gym area off TV room by pushing towards the street (discussed with IDS previously)
FIRE STATION 23
• Utilize f loor plan schematic from IDS to create (3) dorm rooms into existing footprint to allow for privacy
• Dorms should have individual lockers, add bedding locker to Captains dorm • Dorm room walls should be ¾ height like existing Station 27 • Replace flooring
• Replace windows with triple pane throughout for noise reduction and climate control PAGE 3 SUPPORT SERVICES DIVISION FACILITY ASSESSMENT

SECTION II: PROPERTY INSPECTION RESULTS
In this section, we provide a summary of information on the various buildings and their elements that have been inspected.
FIRE STATION #21 – 421 OAK ST
Built: 1 9 9 4
Area: 4 6 , 2 0 0
Stories: 3
Type: S1 - Brick / Masonry / Steel Frame
Architectural Analysis and Recommendations (See detailed Architectural Report - Exhibit A)
1. Provide Tier 3 structural analysis to very seismic design criteria
2. Demo existing walls and ceilings to accommodate structural upgrades then reinstall to match
3. Provide clearance around existing sprinkler heads as required
4. Upgrade emergency and egress lighting
5. Anchor masonry veneer as required
6. Re-brace existing garage doors per structural requirements
7. Brace all high cabinets, equipment, ceiling systems and overhead utilizes per structural requirements
8. Add safety devices to light fixture lens covers
Structural Engineer Analysis and Recommendations (See detailed Structural Report - Exhibit B)
1. Modify existing building moment frames to provide additional required stiffening
2. Full Tier 3 evaluation is required prior to remedial efforts to verify load requirements *
3. All non-structural components require lateral bracing and anchorage to building structure
*Note for Tier 3 review scope:
An ASCE 41 evaluation contains three different levels of evaluating existing structures. The first is a Tier 1 Screening. A Tier 1 screening relies on the completion of checklists of evaluation statements that identify potential deficiencies in a building based on performance of similar buildings in past earthquakes. A Tie r 2 Evaluation represents a more in-depth assessment of the existing structure, using an approach applicable to certain types of buildings and Performance Objectives based on specific evaluation of potential deficiencies to determine if they represent actual deficiencies that may require mitigation. Analysis of the response of the entire building may not be required. A Tier 3 Evaluation provides further depth to the assessment using an approa ch to evaluation in which complete analysis of the response of the building to seismic hazards is performed, implicitly or explicitly recognizing non-linear response. In many cases, the deficiency-based retrofit procedures of a Tier 1 or 2 evaluation represent a cost-effective improvement in seismic performance as it requires a less detailed evaluation or partial analysis. However, while a Tier 3 procedure represents a larger investment in design in terms of time and cost, the nature of the complete analysis may determine items shown not in compliance in a Tier 1 or 2 evaluation to be in compliance, thus reducing construction costs.

GLENDALE FIRE DEPARTMENT FIRE STATION 23
LONG TERM PRIORITIES
• Fire Station 23 is a prime candidate to completely remodel the interior to withstand future changes and increases in personnel or service to community. • Fire Station 23 was constructed in the 1970s to initially house 4 personnel working on 1 apparatus. The community, population, call volume, and resources needed in Glendale has out grown this station.
• Create a long term plan and timeframe on completely renovating the interior of the station to turn it into a “100 year station”
• This plan should include the ability to house 6 personnel to allow for growth • This would allow space for an additional resource in the future • 6 individual dorm rooms plus 3 individual bathrooms
• Larger gym area
• Larger kitchen & dinning area
• Update kitchen and dining area.
• Update appliances
• Update HVAC and include controls for each zone or room • If the opportunity to take over the library arises, the fire department needs to make a remodel at Fire Station 23 a high priority. This would allow the fire department to expand its capabilities.

LONG TERM PRIORITIES
• Fire Station 24 is a prime candidate for a new station built to withstand future changes and increases in personnel or service to community
• Fire Station 24 was constructed in the 1960s to house 4 personnel working on 1 apparatus The community, population, call volume, and resource needs have outgrown this stations • The advantage of building a new Fire Station 24 is the possibility of building off-site so service delivery is not interrupted
• The current lot is not large enough for a modern f ire station • Options to explore for a new station all include parking lots owned by Glendale CC or the Civic Auditorium that are no longer used as heavily due to GCC building a parking structure on campus.
• Lot 34: Located on Cañada Blvd just south of the Babe Herman Little League Field • Lot 31: Located on the corner of E. Mountain St. and N. Verdugo Rd. • Lot 30: Located on N. Verdugo Rd south of E Mountain St • All lots are located away from residential areas, on a major thoroughfares • Moving it slightly to the south would increase availability to the busier parts of Glendale that need additional resources
• All lots have room to build a “100 year” station that can withstand future needs and changes to service delivery
• With a larger lot, the department can assess the possibility of moving Haz Mat training props from the RTC and TC to the Haz Mat Fire Station

GLENDALE FIRE DEPARTMENT FIRE STATION 26
LONG TERM PRIORITIES
• Fire Station 26 is the oldest fire station in the GFD. It would be best suited to rebuild completely on the existing lot withstand future changes and increases in personnel or service to community.
• Fire Station 26 was constructed in the 1950s to initially house 8 personnel working on 2 apparatus. The community, population, call volume, and resources needed in Glendale has out grown this station.
• If the opportunity to take over the library arises, the fire department needs to make a remodel at Fire Station 26 a high priority. This would allow the fire department to expand its capabilities.
• Fire Station 26 is currently in an ideal location. It is in a very dense area where a majority of the incidents occur.
• Its location on Brand is a major thoroughfare that divides the city in half • Quick access to the 134 freeway and other streets that provide quick access to other districts
• Take over the public parking lot to the rear of the station • This can free up parking spaces for GFD employees and give back two parking spots on Brand that are designated for f ire department vehicles • Build a structure that can house a reserve truck, engine, and/or ambulance • Build a structure to house the f ire station gym to replace the current gym which is exposed to diesel exhaust in the apparatus bay
• Create a long term plan and timeframe on completely renovating the interior of the station to turn it into a “100 year station”
• This plan should include the ability to house 12 personnel to allow for growth • This would allow space for an additional resource in the future • 12 individual dorm rooms plus 4 individual bathrooms
• Larger kitchen & dinning area
• A 3rd and 4th story to include a community space for the public or classroom for the personnel
• Add subterranean parking for personal vehicles

• Update the Day Room
• Utilize the lot square footage in the rear to build a structure that can store one or two Reserve Engines and one or two Reserve Ambulances
• Create a long term plan and timeframe on completely renovating the interior of the station to turn it into a “100 year station”
• This plan should include the ability to house 6 personnel to allow for growth • This would allow space for an additional resource in the future • 6 individual dorm rooms plus 3 individual bathrooms
• Larger kitchen & dinning area

GLENDALE FIRE DEPARTMENT FIRE STATION 29
LONG TERM PRIORITIES
• Fire Station 29 is one of the oldest fire stations in the GFD. It would be best suited to completely gut the inside of the structure and rebuild completely on the existing lot to withstand future changes and increases in personnel or service to community. • Fire Station 29 was constructed in the 1950s to initially house 8 personnel working on 2 apparatus. The community, population, call volume, and resources needed in Glendale has out grown this station.
• If the opportunity to take over the library arises, the fire department needs to make a remodel at Fire Station 29 a high priority. This would allow the fire department to expand its capabilities.
• Fire Station 29 is one of three key stations that require a company to move up from another agency if a large incident occurs within Glendale • One of three Truck stations
• Take over the public parking lot to the rear of the station • This can free up parking spaces for GFD employees and city vehicles • Create a long term plan and timeframe on completely renovating the station on its current lot, to turn it into a “100 year station”
• This plan should include the ability to house 14 personnel to allow for growth • This would allow space for an additional resource in the future • 14 individual dorm rooms plus 4 individual bathrooms
• Utilize area above apparatus bay for dorms or bathrooms • Larger kitchen & dinning area
• A 3rd story to include a community space for the public or classroom for the personnel
• Space to store reserve apparatus
