Fire Station No. 1 is envisioned as a new, two-story facility that would serve as our headquarters. Strategically centrally located in Newville based on projected community growth, incident volume, and the opportunity for improved response times. Designed to consolidate both operational and administrative functions, the first floor will include a fully equipped satellite fire station with five apparatus bays, an apparatus support workshop, SCBA room, and dedicated decontamination areas- including laundry, storage, and showers - support firefighter health and safety. It will also house an EMS station and District-wide storage.
The second floor will feature the District’s administrative offices and living quarters for on- and off-duty personnel, including individual dorms, a kitchen and dining area, restrooms, a District Shift Captain’s dorm, an exercise facility, and a quiet room/mothers’ room. Public-facing spaces will include a lobby, conference room, restrooms, and a large training room that will serve as a central training hub for the District.
