station 72 site plan

Project Overview

Fire Station 72 is designed to replace the existing 6,720-square-foot station, built in 1990 with a 16,964-square-foot, two-story facility. The expanded space will provide modern accommodations for the firefighters while supporting the department's daily operations. The project is designed to improve emergency response capabilities, operational efficiency, and firefighter health and safety while accommodating expanded facilities on a limited site.

The design also recognizes Prescott's firefighting heritage. Plans include a dedicated viewing bay for the historic parade truck knows as The FROG, and a place for the historic fire bell, that can be viewed from a public viewing area.

Location & Design

The station is located at 530 6th Street near Granite Creek Park on a 1.36-acre site. This station will serve Prescott, portions of Prescott National Forest, and surrounding rural communities.

The two-story design maximizes available space while addressing site constraints, including overhead 69kV power lines, utility clearances, emergency vehicle circulation, and parking.

The station will include three drive-through apparatus bays, a separate back-in bay for the historic parade truck, eight dormitories, offices, a flex room, and a dedicated recharge room. The historic fire bell will also be incorporated into the new facility. Firefighter health and safety are emphasized through designated hot, warm, and cold zones, decontamination transitions, private sleeping quarters, and dedicated wellness and recovery spaces.

Site improvements will include secure staff parking, on-street public parking, and efficient access to support emergency response and daily operations.
