Town of Hilton Head Island, SC Fire Station No. 7

The coastal barrier island location of these stations presents several design issues including hurricane force winds and flooding. To tackle these issues the structure was designed to handle 125 MPH wind loads and the site is elevated to get the station above flood level. The station includes three drive-through apparatus bays, individual sleep rooms, a large kitchen, a dayroom, an exercise room, and a covered patio. This project received the 2004 Fire Chief Magazine Station Style Gold Award for design of a Career Station based on the completeness & quality.
