Fire Stations are civic beacons and community fixtures. As older fire stations become antiquated and need replacement with modern-day facilities, the challenge of replacing and integrating new Fire Stations into historic districts comes with stringent design requirements. This case study explores lessons learned from placing new fire stations in historically sensitive contexts. The presenters will explore case studies demonstrating new fire stations located in the historic districts of Venice, Captiva Island, and Boca Grande, Florida. These case studies will show how the fire stations were integrated into the historic architectural vernacular. We will also discuss stakeholder engagement and how consensus was built among neighborhood and civic groups.
