Due to increasing population growth and demand on the fire department, the Town of Mount Pleasant needs to enlarge an existing fire station to add a 3rd battalion. The existing undersized station has outdated systems and cannot support the needs of a modern fire house.

​

During construction to the existing facility, the station will operate out of temporary facilities. The temporary facilities includes PPE storage, an apparatus bay, and living quarters.

​

The existing station will be replaced with a new hurricane / seismic rated 3-bay station with 12 bunk rooms, day room, kitchen, fitness area, and support spaces. Designed with “hot/warm/cold zone” philosophies the station takes in to consideration carcinogen migration and provides decontamination areas for firefighters, clean/dirty gear storage, and mechanical systems to provide improved indoor air quality. The building is designed on earthquake drains and includes a 100% backup generator in the event of a disaster.
