Aspen Pitkin County Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting Facility
Aspen, CO

This new 29,030 square foot rescue and fire station on airport property was completed in July of 2006 at a cost of just over $10 million. The structure consisted of wood and masonry walls with steel frame supports throughout. The fire fighting equipment bays were equipped with vehicle exhaust mitigation systems and in-floor heating. Also housed in this facility is the snow removal equipment for the airport.
Added features to accommodate the function of this building included a new cell tower installation and all coordination necessary to meet the FAA requirements for a working airport. Runway identification lighting and emergency generators were also included.
