Turning a house into a home
home away from home
Thousands of American firefighters spend around nine nights per month on duty at the station, making this one of their homes. As such, departments should design with that in mind. Additionally, many stations act as a community space, deserving of hometown lighting. Oelo is just one of many ways to create a welcoming space.
station design and costs
To create a fire station in 1980 would have cost $50-60 per sq. ft. Today, those costs have increased to $190-250 per sq. ft. Meanwhile, for roughly $10,000, departments can deck out 550’ linear feet of their exterior, so with this investment, departments can enhance station appeal — a small price to pay to further the design.
EFFICIENT led christmas lighting
Energy efficiency is important to any modern design, and fire stations are no exception. Switching to LED lights is one of the best ways to make a fire station more sustainable. LEDs use 75% less energy than traditional bulbs. Being energy efficient and setting a strong example for the community is an important aspect of firefighting and community building.
“Our building is not new. Oelo mounted seamlessly to the exterior trim without causing damage, and remains undetectable during the daylight hours. Having the ability to change lighting colors and configurations with my phone makes management extremely easy and pretty fun.”
— Gary Margerum, former Falls Township Fire Department President
