Once a 1920s potato barn, the East Northport Fire District’s Clay Pitts Road substation was in desperate need of a rebuild. Today, that former barn has been replaced with a new, 11,200 square foot, 1.5-story facility with a full basement. In addition to mitigating a host of existing substandard conditions, the new station has enabled increased response capability (a single 12 foot wide vehicle door has been replaced by two 12 foot wide doors), enhanced safety for responding firefighters, and improved traffic flow in and around the site.
The neighborhood-friendly design fully complements the surrounding residential community and features a partial glass wall on the west side of the building, bringing natural light to the stairwell and basement. The substation features radiant heat pavement on the response pad/building apron and the only fitness center in the Fire District.
