Klickitat County Fire District #3

This project is a remodel of two fire stations for the Klickitat County Fire District #3, located in Husum, WA and Snowden, WA respectively.  Major goals of the District include continuity of operations, resilience, and turnout time reduction.  As a volunteer fire district, emphasis was placed on retrofitting the existing stations into facilities that they could be proud of and in turn attract more volunteers.

Station 31 is the District's headquarters.  Remodel work at Station 31 includes certain re-configurations to provide critical fire department support spaces, widespread plumbing/electrical/data system upgrades and HVAC retrofits with provisions for future expansions, the addition of backup emergency power, means of egress upgrades, and other systemic upgrades.  Provisions for firefighter's residential quarters are being made as well to serve such use when 24-hour staffing becomes practical.

Station 32 is a remote station serving the eastern reaches of the district.  Remodel work at Station 32 also includes certain re-configurations to provide critical fire department support spaces, the addition of backup emergency power and other system upgrades, but also includes a building addition to provide much-needed working clearance around fire department vehicles.
