Squamish Fire Hall No 1

The new Squamish Fire Hall 1 sits on a forested slope near the foot of the spectacular Stawamus Chief in Squamish, British Columbia. This three-storey, mass timber replacement of the 40-year-old fire hall now includes the district’s Emergency Operations Centre, administrative areas, a gym, larger decontamination facilities, a training hall, and four apparatus bays. The building is predominantly wood framed and masonry for the hose tower with structural mass timber elements of glulam columns and beams for larger spans.
