Tupelo Fire Department
Tupelo’s newly constructed Fire Station #4, located along North Gloster Street, replaced an existing fire station, and updated the local fire department’s facilities and available services for the surrounding Tupelo area. The two story 5,330 square foot facility was constructed of structural steel, concrete, and CMU wrapped in a brink veneer. The main program elements include a two bay drive through garage, turn out gear and equipment storage, day room, kitchen and dining area, patio, four individual sleeping rooms, and shower facilities. The building design references traditional fire stations with elements that include a prominent fire pole, a large exterior cornice, and arched windows. The new fire station allows the department quick access and response to all of north Tupelo and provides a venue for the local fire department to engage the community in fire safety related education.
