We know that firefighters are exposed to significant hazards when responding to emergencies, and that those hazards impact the physical, mental and emotional health of our first responders. What would it take to build a station that was designed to reduce the employees’ exposure and provide a safe space for wellness, rest and decompression? In this session we'll look at Boise Fire Station #13 as a case study in clean public safety building practices. We’ll discuss station design with a focus on firefighter health and wellness; reducing exposure to carcinogens and infectious diseases; occupational hazards; and having a safe place for wellness, rest and decompression. It is the goal of the Boise Fire Department to have healthy firefighters for the duration of their career and beyond.
