Selecting the right site for a new fire station is critical to ensuring operational success of the station and reducing response times. Holliday provides tools and “Rules of Thumb” to guide you through the site selection process, including, guidelines for property size and characteristics of a successful site. Using case study examples of other fire station projects, this presentation will help you to distinguish a great site from a poor site and how to watch out for “unforeseen circumstances” and constraints which may impact the design of your new facility.
