Washington NC Fire Rescue & EMS Station No. 2

Fire/Rescue/EMS Station No. 2 for the City of Washington was the first Capital Improvement project in a series that was recommended by the Public Safety Space Analysis Study performed by Stewart-Cooper-Newell Architects. The city completed this project through funding from USDA Rural Development financing.

The Substation’s design and location allowed the Fire and EMS Departments to greatly improve their response times to recently annexed areas of the City, and thereby helped them maintain their existing ISO classification. Due to its coastal location, this facility was also designed to be hurricane resistant.

The three-bay facility contains six sleep rooms, a dayroom, a kitchen, an exercise area, a training / community room, and administrative offices.
