One of the primary criteria in selecting construction materials for a new police or fire station is to make sure they are durable, easy to clean, require minimal maintenance, and can withstand the extended rigors of firefighter and police officer use.

This seminar will show examples of what works and what doesn’t when it comes to the design and construction of stations that will stand up to the requirements of fire and police responder use.
