The Fire Chief wanted a traditional Chicago Fire House Design with Red Brick and White Cast Stone Trim. Fire Administration Offices are located on the Second Floor away from the Emergency Response Units. A unique feature of this project is the traditional fire pole located in the Second Floor Training Room for quick access of the firefighters to the Apparatus Bays when a call comes in during training sessions. A combination of sloped and flat roofs blend the building in with surrounding residential neighborhoods and provide easy access to the screened roof top mechanical equipment.
