HOT Zone Design: Case Study of Willingboro Fire/EMS HQ
By: Paul Erickson
Most hazards to firefighters are obvious, like fire, hazmat situations, heavy smoke, and hazards at any rescue scene. Many are microscopic but can be just a deadly.
Keeping those less obvious hazards out of fire stations was the topic of a class titled “HOT Zone Design: Case Study of Willingboro Fire/EMS HQ,” which was part of a one-day Station Design Conference at Firehouse Expo on Wednesday.
The class was taught by Paul Erickson, senior principal architect/president of LeMay Erickson Willcox Architects of Reston, Va.
