Village of Waterford

New Fire Station

After multiple dangerous storm events, the Village of Waterford needed to consolidate their three aging stations into a centralized location outside the 500-year floodplain. The chosen site met their needs, minimized demolition costs, and maximized cost efficiency.

The 14,808-square-foot station (funded partially by the Governor’s Office of Storm Recovery) includes four bays that fit up to 11 vehicles; a large mezzanine equipped with training regimens including tie-offs, a manhole for confined space training, ladder evolutions, and bail-out windows; a muti-purpose meeting room that meets the needs of state-sponsored trainings and short-term emergency sheltering for 100 people; full kitchen and shower facilities for emergency sheltering or responder overnights; a bunk room that doubles as a disaster staging area; and an Emergency Operations Center.

The building is fully sprinklered, ADA accessible, has a highly efficient HVAC system, and an emergency generator that powers the entire facility.
