Richmond VA Fire Station No. 17 - Truckman - 12-10-2012
The City of Richmond uses Air Mation exhaust filtering system in their fire houses. They are installed above where each piece sits.

Those are very nice photos of a very nice station.
Two things I cannot understand "why? are: 1) Why is very light-colored wood used inside a fire house (as opposed to a dark, more durable tone/hue); and 2) why does every new fire house have white (or very lightly-colored) grout between the floor tiles?
Both of the above-mentioned items make a facility looked alot older than it is really fast due to how dirty it/they become due to wear and tear.

Good question Ronnie.
Probably the architect who designed it and the ones who approved it messed up. I am sure the fire company didn't have a lot to say in this, except what they needed in the house.
