City of Gastonia, NC Fire Department Headquarters

The Gastonia Fire Department headquarters station was in desperate need of replacement. As part of a larger bond referendum, the citizens of Gastonia funded the design and construction of a new headquarters station that would serve both the administrative and fire service functions of the department. The 24,000 SF station has 4 drive through apparatus bays, 1 maintenance bay, individual sleep rooms, fitness areas, large kitchen, and dayroom. The Administrative suite has offices and conference rooms for the Chief, the Assistant Chief's, other administrative personnel, along with a large training rooms for continuing education and use by the citizens. The Station also includes a museum highlighting the history of the Fire Service in Gastonia.
