INTRODUCTION
The enclosed resolution is in reference to the public hearing for the Fire Station 6
External Stairwell Addition Project.
BACKGROUND
Fire Station 6 is a three story structure that comprises of an apparatus truck bay and
kitchen on the ground floor, living quarters and office space on the second floor, and a
restricted height basement. The only access between the ground floor and the second
floor is a wooden internal staircase that is original to the building which itself was built in
1906. The original staircase has begun to separate at the second floor level and is
becoming structurally unstable.
DISCUSSION
In 2017 the Fire Department contracted with IIW Engineers, Architects, Surveyors P.C.
of Dubuque, IA (IIW) to conduct a facility needs assessment for Fire Station 6. The
results of that assessment were completed in 2018 which indicated the internal stairwell
was in need of replacement. Based on the results of the assessment IIW was hired to
design the replacement of the staircase. After consideration of several alternatives and
the current and future needs of the fire station, a design option was selected to remove
the internal staircase and replace it with an enclosed set of external stairs on northeast
side of the station. This alternative has several benefits:
• By removing the internal staircase, critically needed additional equipment
storage space is created.
• The current hose drying tower which can only be accessed via the kitchen
area will be relocated to the new external stair tower.
• Direct access to the basement from the exterior of the building will be
created.
