The Rochester Fire Department’s Station No. 2 was too small and no longer appropriately located. It needed new, up-to-date facilities that would also allow for future growth. Council agreed to a new facility if the Fire Department included the Police Department’s PSAP and the Emergency Management Department’s EOC.
The nine-acre relocation site was at the intersection of two major roadways. The City planned to sell the most valuable portions for retail use, so a new street was planned bisecting the property to enable development. The new road had to align with existing curb cuts, follow the roadway design guidelines, and avoid ravines. The only leftover parcel was a 2.44 acre steeply sloping site.
The north portion of the building serves as the public entrance and contains a museum, conference room, and restroom. There are four drive-through apparatus bays, an EMS supply depot, the arson evidence room, and a specialty shop that conducts hose/ladder testing. For peace and quiet, the living spaces face away from the future retail. The eat-in kitchen and patio have dramatic southeast views. There are four firefighter and two officer dorm rooms with windows opening onto a wooded area.
The station is planned to house firefighters fresh from the academy, so it includes many training features for continued learning. There is study space in each bunk room. A five-story tower contains rappelling tie-offs inside and out, roof access, “windows” at the second through fourth floors, removable railings, stair runs with removable treads, a manhole, and a standpipe with sprinkler head. A mezzanine off the tower provides access to a balcony, doors to the apparatus bay for drills during inclement weather, and space for obstacle props.
