Logan-Rogersville Fire Station 6 is a new, two- story firehouse that’s located on State Highway VV in the city of Rogersville. The station was designed to address quick response times as well as to provide a comfortable, modern living area for the firefighters who serve the response area.
The exterior design incorporates a modern style, utilizing a variety of smooth and ribbed metal wall panels that blend with a traditional fire station’s red brick and glass wall systems.
The main floor of the firehouse is primarily public/ staff use areas that include an open-concept kitchen/ dayroom, with an adjacent covered outdoor patio area. There are two drive-through apparatus bays, tool storage, work areas, a staff office and an exercise room that opens into the apparatus bay. The turnout gear storage room is centrally located and functions as a hardened safe room for inclement weather conditions.
In addition to the living and apparatus areas, the station includes a 600-square-foot public community/training room that has after-hours access and a public restroom.
The second floor includes three private bunkrooms that have three independent beds and closets for all three shifts; laundry facilities; restrooms; and a captain’s office that connects to a captain’s bunkroom. Also included is access to the roof patio that’s above the community room.
The building serves as a training tool for firefighters through access to the different roof levels via ladders, to utilize roof hatches for simulated rooftop-entry training.
A traditional brass fire pole was included in the design and was located at the front of the station between the public entry and the apparatus bay. This location was chosen to give firefighters quick and direct apparatus bay access directly from the second-floor bunk while also being visible from the exterior as a public design feature.
