Richmond Fire Station No. 3

Bass, the City of Richmond and the entire design team meticulously worked together to provide the citizens with a facility that will meet their needs, while striving to keep the budget to a bare minimum. Coming in at around $133 per s.f. on a fire station; we feel Bass’s pre-construction services contributed highly to keeping the cost down, while not sacrificing quality of construction.

Station #3 is designed to house six firefighters with individual dorm rooms, day / dining room, meeting / training room, multiple storage areas, utility, dispatch, two bay apparatus room, air pack room, equipment area, janitors closet, dual men’s / women’s restrooms, mechanical / electrical room, exercise and storage mezzanine. This will be topped off with top of line appliances ranging from kitchen equipment to heavy duty gear extractors & cabinet dryers to insure firefighters protective wear is kept in its very best condition!

This 10,000 s.f. addition consists of using a pre-engineered metal building by Whirlwind Steel Buildings, Inc. The design on the building incorporates the architectural elements of the surrounding buildings. The building features six drive-thru bays with 20´ overhead doors. The interior amenities include office space; bay readiant heaters; two posts and for post lifts; 2,500 s.f. of storage on lightweight concrete mezzanine; hose reels and high output lighting.
