City of Denton ARFF Fire Station No. 9
Denton’s new Fire Station No. 9 Aircraft Rescue & Fire Fighting (ARFF) facility is a state-of-the-art two-story building, featuring an observation deck and four bays, including one meeting FAA ARFF guidelines.
Blending Functionality and Comfort
The first floor houses essential support services, while the second level provides living quarters, an exercise area, and a Captain’s office. Designed by Parkhill with a focus on functionality and comfort, the facility’s design is imperative to ensuring the welfare of fire crews within the building so they can respond as swiftly and safely as possible.
Designs That Protect Lives
The firefighters, paramedics, and EMTs based at the Denton Enterprise Airport will be specifically trained to respond to airport emergencies, including extinguishing aircraft fires, emergency evacuation techniques, and airport structure rescues. This fire station also houses ARFF equipment and vehicles, such as the Striker 3000, which contains thousands of gallons of specialized fire extinguishing agents.
Building Community Through Service
Collaboration between designers and stakeholders is key to any project. In this case, safety was a top priority, and any input from the fire department was considered and implemented within the layout. Parkhill’s mission of Building Community means building trust with the organizations it serves and solidifying lasting relationships.
