The Fire Industry Education Resource Organization’s (F.I.E.R.O.) Fire Station Design Symposium and Fire Facilities Design Awards Program seeks to enhance the understanding of fire officials, mayors, city managers, budget directors, architects and others of the functional requirements of a modern fire station and raise a fire department’s expectations regarding the architectural possibilities in a fire facilities design project.
In conducting its annual Fire Station Design Awards Program, F.I.E.R.O. seeks to recognize excellence in the design and construction of fire stations and related emergency facilities. F.I.E.R.O. also seeks by its design awards program to encourage continued quality investments in these special purpose, “civic-pride” buildings.
The symposium’s presenters are carefully drawn from the architectural, fire service, academic and building construction communities. Details on each session topic as well as conference registration, hotel reservations, and exhibitor information are on F.I.E.R.O.’s website.
The symposium will be held September 24-27, 2023, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Greenville, SC. 2023 F.I.E.R.O. Fire Station Design Award Winners will be announced in a “Report from the Jury” as one of the symposium’s presentation sessions.
