This new fire station was sited to maximize the solar orientation of the main overhead doors. It is designed to allow for future solar electric panels. The building houses a new fire truck and a brush and pumper truck. There is a small office and conference area with a bathroom. A combination of flat roof trusses above the truck bays and scissor trusses allow for a small mezzanine level above the office area. The exterior is clad in cement board with vertical battens organized to eliminate butt joints in the siding. All materials were selected based on longevity and low maintenance. The concrete slab is radiant heated and the thermal envelope exceeds the Maine Energy Code. Heating is provided by a small propane boiler with on demand domestic hot water. Lighting fixtures were selected based on Efficiency Maine standards and the building is designed to allow the fire station to double function as a town meeting space, and is used for Town Meetings annually.
