The new Station 5 features a large apparatus bay that can house five to six rigs, and eight individual dorm rooms that include a bed and desk. Most AF&R stations have dorms that several firefighters share. Station 5 also has separate male and female locker rooms and a separate exercise room with a stair-climbing machine, rowing machine, a stationary bike, weights and a TV. Many fire stations only have room for exercise equipment in the apparatus bay. Among the other highlights of Station 5 are a complete laundry facility, a commercial-grade ice machine, a turnout room with 24 separate stalls, a captain’s office, and a dayroom with six plush recliners.
