Environmental Assessment Construction of a New Fire Station, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base
Abstract
Currently, Fire Department activities in Area Care fragmented into two buildings, which severely degrades response capabilities. A new fire station has been proposed to consolidate functions split between Fire Station 1 (Building 30163) and Fire Station 2 (Building 30206) and to improve crash response time for incidents on the south end of the runway. Consolidation of activities into one building would also reduce manpower requirements, eliminate excessive overtime, and improve quality of life deficiencies (e.g., sleeping areas). The fire station would be located in Area C, at the intersection of Allbrook Drive and Skeel A venue. The proposed action is to construct a new consolidated fire station and conduct the interior demolition/renovation of one building and the partial/complete demolition of four other buildings on the base. The demolition of four buildings is included as part of this action to offset the square footage to be gained from the construction of the new fire station. There were two alternatives analyzed: Alternative A, the No Action alternative, would have Fire Department activities remain split between Fire Stations 1 and 2. Alternative A also serves as a baseline against which the Proposed Action can be compared. Alternative B, the Proposed Action, includes the construction of the new consolidated fire station and the interior demolition/renovation of one building (Building 30 163) and the partial/complete demolition of four other buildings (Buildings 30206, 30201, 20090, 11405) on the base.
