The organizing principle in planning the Ramsey Fire Station #2 was to minimize firefighter response times. Firefighters immediately reach their lockers upon entering the building where they can dress quickly head into the apparatus bay. There are clear lines of sight from the engine driver’s seat through to the parking lot to help the driver determine if additional firefighters are on their way.
The public entry and all offices are located on the left down the central corridor. The dayroom, kitchen and classroom are to the right. The hose tower doubles as a training stair while the mezzanine offers space for obstacle props and openings to the apparatus bays for drills.
To provide a safe and healthy environment, areas of contamination are segregated from clean areas. Upon returning from a call, firefighters decontaminate their equipment and enter the locker/shower area directly from the apparatus floor to eliminate bringing potential contaminants into the station.
For increased camaraderie and interaction among the local agencies, the station provides office space for the police and bay space for the EMS agency. Everyone is encouraged to use the dayroom and kitchen.
The exterior inspires civic pride, increases public awareness of the department and meets goals that are crucial for recruitment and retention. To remain architecturally relevant and maintain its appearance for years to come, the building uses durable and appropriate materials. The brick, cast stone, and prefinished metal match those on the City Hall to define a standard palette for city buildings.
The apparatus bays and office/training areas are taller masses consisting of carefully detailed brick with punched windows, a glass and metal panel clerestory band, and hip roofs. The masses containing the support spaces are clad in cast stone panels with ribbon windows, bringing an organized contemporary style to the structure.
