ARFF Fire Station 40

Supporting the growing operational demands of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, ARFF Fire Station 40 is a ground-up Air Rescue and Fire Fighting facility designed by Fitzgerald Gray Hagan Architects. The station accommodates expanded personnel capacity, 11 emergency response vehicles, advanced security measures, and a sophisticated communications system designed to ensure rapid and efficient emergency response. 

A performance-driven design approach centered on resilience and occupant well-being shapes the overall facility. Recognizing that emergency responders spend extended periods within the station, the design prioritizes natural light, energy flow, and comfort while maintaining strict requirements for security and operational readiness. A centralized common space supports work, training, socialization, and recovery, fostering team interaction and reducing energy consumption through shared environments. The completed station delivers a highly functional, efficient, and supportive workplace that enhances response readiness and long-term operational performance.
