Design includes triage room, training tower and storage lofts
Summary
Architects detailed interior features including a triage room for on‑site medical intake, a hose/tower designed for wet training, loft storage in apparatus volume, and on‑site training areas for ladder and high‑angle rescue.
The schematic includes specific operational features for firefighters: a triage room adjacent to the public lobby for immediate medical intake, a training tower configured as a stair that allows wet training without damaging the interior, and loft storage in apparatus volume where structurally feasible.
Chris Logan explained the tower will include a hatch, knockout windows and an adjacent flat roof area to support high‑ladder rescue and rappelling training. The team said lofts and mezzanines will be used to take advantage of high ceiling volumes for storage, but structural framing and roof form decisions will affect usable storage area and cost.
