We worked with a local Ohio hot sauce specialist to create our own unique brand of hot sauce, especially for the true firefighter in you. Our concoction of ghost peppers, garlic, and a special blend of seasonings makes this sauce one of the top five on the Scoville Scale – estimated at over 300,000 SHUs.
Each attendee to the Station Design Conference 2023 is welcomed to visit CR architecture + design's BOOTH ONE and ask for a FREE bottle. We only made a limited volume of sauce, so when it is gone, it is gone - come get your FREE CR Firehouse Hot Sauce NOW!!!!

How is NFPA 1402 Incorporated into a Fire Station Design?
Our proprietary Training by Design is highlighted within this presentation, explaining how you can add training props and skilled features to add experiences, cost savings, and develop more prepared fire safety teams. Training is the key to success; see how we can help make the most of the opportunities.
NFPA 1402 provides guidance for the planning of fire service training centers and focuses on the main components necessary to accomplish general fire fighter training effectively, efficiently, and safely. We as architects understand the NFPA intentions. How can we work with your guidelines, training requirements, as well as the NFPA standard to ensure that you end up with a product that looks good, functions, and is NFPA compliant? How could NFPA compliance contribute to your ISO rating?

Funding for Building or Renovating a Station: How Am I Going to Pay for It?
Introducing Ed King, our financial expert, who will work with us to establish the best way to cover the expenses, for your renovations, additions, or completely new facility. The core to our Facility SitRep program is to work with you throughout the entire process – We are here for you!
When we are buying what need to survive on our daily basis, we must come up with a plan and a vision on how we are going to pay for it. This is not different for Fire Departments. One of the biggest challenges that Fire Chiefs and Officers face, is finding the resources to meet municipal needs as well as public safety needs. Where and how do I come up for the money to pay for what I need? Do I have more funding options than just bonds?

DYK: That by including Training by Design, facilities see a 92% increase in skill development.
This is our proprietary formula for adding training props and educational experiences directly into the build or renovation of your fire station. Incorporating these advancements enables your team to train 24 hours, 7 days a week. “Building-in” these training stages as a seamless part of the facility enables you to better utilize your space. Perhaps the biggest benefit of Training by Design is the cost savings for the company. Imagine not having to leave the facility to train, not having to backfill staff, and not having to find a comparable learning center, you will have it all under your own roof.
The addition of these teaching tools supports more knowledgeable fire fighters, more diversified trained professionals, and often enhances response times and performance.
At CR architecture + design we have revolutionized the implementation of these training essentials as a statement of art and design, making the utmost use of your facility. Ask how we can make it work for you!
Are you in the process of assessing the need to replace, renovate, or add on to your current facility? Are you asking yourself where do I start? How do I start? What do I do? Those are the very questions and the very reasons that CR architecture + design established our Facility SitRep.
