Keeping Fire Stations Fit for Purpose
As the demands on our emergency services grow, so does the importance of futureproof, well-designed fire stations. Fire Estates Manager remains focused on helping professionals from fire chiefs and station managers to estates officers and developers understand how to design and maintain buildings that meet the operational, welfare, and sustainability needs of today and tomorrow.
Issue 2 features fresh perspectives on fire station functionality, including how data-led design is improving operational efficiency, why mental health facilities are becoming a design priority, and how technology like digital twins and automation is reshaping station layouts and resource planning.
Case Studies: From Blueprint to Best Practice
