Members of the Maplewood Planning and Zoning Commission got a tour of Maplewood’s new firehouse after their meeting on Monday. They met in the building’s meeting room because the council chambers were being used for court.
The building is designed for energy savings, and has LED lighting throughout.
The firefighters’ mattresses came from Mattress Wholesale and the closets from Saint Louis Closet Co., both Maplewood companies.
The firehouse garage doors were made in Switzerland — see video of them opening and closing below.
When is the public open house?
In the video a woman is asking why use doors that open that way instead of the roll-up doors we are used to, but the answer is cut off. Anybody know? Thanks!
I hope that there will be some way to control the mold. It looks very cool.
Are you saying there is mold in the new building? Already???
No, Gary. Pretty sure that was a joke. A reference to the Brentwood firehouse, which is now undergoing mold abatement.
Oh, good. Glad it’s a joke. Thanks.
Loving it, they deserve to have updated quarters. One thing I did have to laugh about was the picture of the beds. Whoever’s bunk in the middle had paw patrol sheets on ?LOL
Must be the rookie lol
15 year rookie
Looks wonderful and well deserved! Thank you for your service Maplewood firefighters.
