Wake County NC Garner Fire & EMS No. 4

This pre-engineered metal Fire and EMS substation was designed to respond to the needs of both the Town of Garner and the surrounding population of Wake County. The station’s facade was carefully crafted to blend with the local aesthetic, incorporating a utility-brick and standard-brick veneer. The utility brick functions in this arrangement as the darker-colored water table and accent banding, with the standard brick used for the remainder of the exterior.

The building’s fire department spaces include an educational training room and dayroom, as well as 12 beds in the sleeping area. The EMS department also has a dayroom, and beds for four crew members plus a supervisor.

The facility’s shared spaces include three double-length vehicle bays with full view aluminum overhead doors, PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) storage, and an exercise room. Per Wake County guidelines for design and construction, the substation incorporates sustainable design elements that include energy efficient HVAC and lighting.
