After nearly two decades of anticipation and meticulous planning the new Branson Fire Station No. 4 marks a significant milestone for the Branson community. The state-of-the-art, 11,000 square foot facility is strategically positioned to enhance emergency response capabilities in the southern part of the city, ensuring rapid assistance when it matters most. But the impact of this project extends far beyond its physical footprint; it stands as a testament to the City’s commitment to progress and safety.
The design of the new fire station thoughtfully addresses every aspect of a firefighter's needs and well-being. It boasts three drive-thru bays for efficient vehicle access, welcoming living quarters that provide a home away from home, an ICC-500 storm shelter and office spaces.
One highlight of the station's innovative features is the inclusion of steam showers, a modern amenity that is becoming increasingly popular in fire stations across the nation. These steam showers are not just about luxury; they serve a vital role in firefighter health and safety. By offering a thorough cleanse, they effectively eliminate skin contaminants, significantly reducing the risk of cancer—a known occupational hazard in firefighting. Beyond their health benefits, steam showers are easy to maintain and cost-effective, which is seen as a smart investment in the crew's long-term wellness.
