SFS worked with the City of Overland Park to finalize the design for a new single-company, 2-bay Fire Station serving the growing southwest area of the City. The new station is designed to be expanded to a 2-company station as the community grows and the service area densifies. The station is a double-depth drive-through facility with primary and secondary exits and return paths. An option to incorporate a third bay and additional sleeping quarters to accommodate MedAct (the County's medical ambulance service) was also considered. Fire Station No. 48 is built adjacent to the Blue Valley Southwest Middle/High School campus providing opportunities to collaborate on a fire science program as part of the School District's Center for Advanced Professional Studies or CAPS program.
