brought a fire facility on-line during the last five
years or have a project “on-the-boards” that has not yet
been approved for construction. Awards will also be
given for outstanding examples of fire station
renovations or adapted reuse that have been completed or
are in the planning stages. All entries submitted will
be on display throughout the conference.

presented in the following four categories:

special purpose fire facilities that have been placed in
service within the last five years.On-the-Boards

purpose fire or other emergency facilities that have had
