Fire Halls are structures with a unique combination of functional requirements. They must accommodate large vehicles, storage of specialized equipment, wet conditions in vehicle bays, office and dispatch uses, often assembly occupancy, and some are public buildings.
Lindsay has the experience, technical knowledge, and construction ability to design and construct very high functioning, cost effective, and architecturally pleasing Fire Halls.
Our portfolio of Fire Hall projects speaks for itself and is assurance that we will bring the benefit of experience to your own construction project.
Lindsay can provide optimal value during early stage involvement to produce conceptual design, budget, timeline, and other such fundamental construction program parameters. A successful project is ensured by providing a full turn-key Design-Build project delivery system.

| Brooklyn Fire Hall & Civic Centre (Brooklyn, Nova Scotia) The new Brooklyn Fire Department and Civic Centre is a 22,500 sq. ft., 2-storey Tilt-Up Concrete facility housing 5 truck bays, offices / support services, and a single storey community centre on the main level. Targeting LEED® Silver status, the highly efficient building envelope is outfitted with a geothermal heating and cooling system. Lindsay provided this highly efficient system by utilizing adjacent land to house a horizontal geothermal field, all at one-third the cost of the traditional methods which utilize multiple verticle wells. "The new building is a lot bigger and a lot nicer. It's been a good experience," says RIck Sherard, Brooklyn Town Engineer. "If I had questions or concerns, I went straight to Lindsay's Project Manager. He kept me informed and any issues were resolved quickly." |

Brookfield Fire Hall (Brookfield, Nova Scotia) Nestled in a picturesque residential area of Brookfield, this 8,450 sq. ft. fire station is a testament to the character and flexibility of the Tilt-Up Concrete building method. Ensuring that the building fit into the surrounding community was a top priority for this Design-Build venture. The resulting design is clean and simple complimented by stepped-out panels, bronze windows, and a warm color palette of off-white with deep tan accents. The durability of Tilt-Up made it a natural choice for the new facility. The single-storey building has two distinctly functioning areas with two architectural profiles: a 15 ft. high finished office space with boardroom, kitchen, and community area stepping up to an open area housing 6 fire truck bays with 21 ft. ceilings. |

Truro Fire Hall (Truro, Nova Scotia) The Truro Fire Department is home to a modern facility devised by old-fashioned means. This fire station has given the Town of Truro a wonderful facility which blends in seamlessly with the historical appearance of the neighborhood. Lindsay teamed up with architect firm, John K. Dobbs & Associates, and the result was first place in the Design-Build competition winning the Truro Building Committee's unanimous approval for their ideal lay-out and traditional brick design. The detailing of the brick is in keeping with what would have been done years ago with moddern copper eave and trim details. Completing this building on time and on budget helped to exceed the Town of Truro's expectations. This facility also utilizes an energy efficient, in-ground, heat pump system. Lindsay broke ground in May of 2004 and we were pleased to attend the highly publicized grand opening on September 18th. Since this time, the single-storey structure has been praised for its appearance and functionality. |
