Fire Station 1 - 2000 Murphy Drive | ||||||||||||||||||||
Fire Station 1 is located at 2000 Murphy Drive at the intersection of Murphy Drive and Union Court. The station serves as Fire Department Headquarters and houses all of the department's administrative offices, including Chief of the Department, Fire Marshal and Administrative Assistant. Station 1 is the quarters for Engine Company 1 and houses Engine 1, Tower 2 and the department's Mobile Air Unit. Engine Bay The apparatus bay feature three drive-thru bays. Apparatus will enter the station off of Union Court and exit onto Murphy Drive. Engine 1, Tower 2 and the Mobile Air Unit are now housed at this station. The department now has a total of six bays at both stations in which to store its growing fleet of equipment. Living Quarters The new station utilizes a pod system in the living quarters, whereas each firefighter on duty will have an individual sleep room. This design prevents the need for large bunkrooms divided by gender and will allow company-specific alerting/dispatching to each room in the future. |
