Fire Station 2
#44 41st Avenue
Fire Station 2 construction was completed in October 2007. As part of project, the City awarded its first ever design build contract to the team of Cole + Russell Architects and Trident Construction. Fire Station 2 was constructed on deep pile foundations and designed to withstand forces that exceed a Category 3 hurricane. The apparatus bay is below base flood elevation; therefore, all rooms adjoining the bay are designed to be flood-proofed. The flood proofed section houses a turnout gear room, storage room, SCBA room, EMS storage, decon room, alarm room, maintenance room, restroom, and a janitor's room. The second floor houses a fitness room, training/conference room, mechanical room, electrical room, two restrooms, and a Lieutenant's office. Living quarters are located on the third floor consisting of five dorm rooms, a kitchen and dining room, night room, laundry room, janitor's room, three shower rooms, and the elevator mechanical room. Several training props were incorporated into the building.

The City is in the process of replacing Fire Station 1 at the current location, #30 J C Long Boulevard. Fire Station 1 will be constructed within a Public Safety Building which will include the Isle of Palms Fire Department and Police Department. The building will be constructed on deep pile foundations and has been designed to withstand forces that exceed a Category 3 hurricane. On the Fire Department's side of the building, the apparatus bay is below base flood elevation; therefore, all rooms adjoining the bay are designed to be flood-proofed. The flood-proofed section will house an alarm room, a maintenance shop, an EMS storage room, a shed for yard equipment, a gear room, a decontamination room, a restroom and janitor's room, and a turnout gear room. The second floor will house several offices, a "Sparky" room for fire prevention education, a restroom, a storage room, and a training platform. A shared training room and conference room is designed to double as an emergency operations center. The third floor houses the living quarters, consisting of five bunk rooms, three shower rooms, a dining room, a kitchen, and a shared fitness room. Several training props have been incorporated into the building design, including the front stairwell. The building will be on generator back-up and features impact-resistant glass.
