The new Palm Beach County Fire Rescue facility, located in Boynton Beach, FL, is a one-story fire station featuring a four-bay apparatus area, with each bay equipped with impact resistant bifold doors. This brand-new facility has approximately 17,987 square feet and is constructed on a concrete footing foundation. The structural system consists of cold-formed metal framing and load-bearing masonry, with interior steel columns in the living quarters and a steel girder truss system over the apparatus bays.
The roof system is composed of standing-seam metal roof panels utilizing a snap-clad system with pencil ribs. Interior finish materials include epoxy flooring in the apparatus bays, terrazzo flooring in the living quarters, rubber tile flooring in the gym, and sealed concrete flooring in the mechanical and electrical rooms.
The station is fully equipped with modern operational and life-safety systems, including an on-site fuel station, emergency generator, Wi-Fi communication tower, locution system, Bi-Directional Amplifier (BDA) system, CCTV surveillance, access control system, fire alarm system, and full bunker gear accommodations with individual lockers.
Extensive site work was completed as part of the project, including utilities, drainage infrastructure, a traffic preemption system with flashers activated from within the apparatus bays, paving, site lighting, sliding parking lot gates, monument LED signage, illuminated project signage, landscaping, and irrigation. Collectively, these features deliver a fully equipped, modern fire station designed to support firefighters in their mission to serve and protect the community.
