Richmond VA Fire Station No. 17

[Truckman]

The City of Richmond uses Air Mation exhaust filtering system in their fire houses. They are installed above where each piece sits.

This is the floor plan of the new station.

Nice pic of all the station inside and outside

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.
