The design and construction of a fire and emergency services station is a long and complicated process. Many diferent decisions are required, and diferent people may be involved in those decisions. The factors governing facility design vary from department to department, and even within the organization itself.
Fire and emergency services organizations are strongly advised to get a copy of NFPA 1581 for complete details and explanatory language of the standard's requirements. ĵ The potentially large number of requirements that can apply to emergency services facilities. ĵ The lack of organizational knowledge concerning station safety hazards.
ĵ Install automatic sprinkler designs that provide the necessary discharge patterns, densities, and water flow characteristics for complete coverage of designated station areas. Use a Hazard Design of Ordinary Group I in accordance with NFPA 13. The USFA strongly recommends the use of sprinkler systems in the design of fire and EMS stations.
In each of these areas, the fire and EMS station should serve as the model for the community. As with any public or private facility, fire and emergency services stations are subject to theft, vandalism and violence. For stafed stations, these acts are most likely to occur when emergency response personnel are on a call.
