This thesis report is properly documented to facilitate the presentation of the proposed fire service station.
The existence of fire service station in Nigeria and its system of operation which enhances the design of proposed station. Although there are some various problems which are to be tackled like circulation, zoning and other services.
Nevertheless there are several goals that are achieve through the study and design of fire station by providing good circulation system, adequate services and good elevation that will help to promote the confidence and trust of the people.
All these are achieve through proper integration of the background study of fire station, creation of possible entrance of fire appliance different from its exit and also through installation of water hydrant and overhead tanks at appropriate location within the site to enhance sufficient water supply.
Furthermore the result of the design report was comprehensive and legible for easy understanding of fire station, its purpose and method of operation.
Finally if all this are integrated into the design, the station will achieve its aim and good working environment.
