Stations with living quarters in North Florida

Stations with living quarters in North Florida: what to know

A staffed station adds the spaces a crew uses through a long shift: individual bunk rooms or a dorm, a kitchen with a big table, a day room, and restrooms with showers, plus a watch office near the bays. These rooms are kept apart from the apparatus floor to block exhaust and contaminants, often with a decontamination area and gear room between them. The living side can sit under a lower roof attached to the taller bay building, or stack above part of it.
