Jerome Township Fire Station

Spicer Group worked with the Jerome Township Fire Department to design a replacement for Fire Station Number One. The existing department operated from two stations with 25 volunteer personnel, two engines, one large tender, one grass truck, one light rescue vehicle, and one rescue vehicle. The new station, funded by a USDA Rural Development loan, can now accommodate the needs of 35 fire fighters by incorporating four 80-foot apparatus bays, turnout, training, locker room, office, archive storage, workout space, laundry, dispatch, dedicated EMT, hose, and SCBA equipment storage spaces. Provisions for an additional future fifth apparatus bay were also considered during the design. The building has radiant heat floors in the apparatus bays and a concrete floor mezzanine for mechanical equipment and storage. Using an economical Pre-Engineered Metal Building frame, with added architectural details, the building provided the Township with an economical long-term solution. The new Fire Sation Number One is complete and is currently being fully utilized by the Jerome Township Fire Department.
