Ketchikan Fire Station No 1

Dawson constructed Ketchikan's new 23,000 square foot fire station across two floors, designed to maximize operational efficiency and firefighter comfort. The ground floor houses apparatus bays for multiple emergency vehicles, while the second floor provides living quarters, a commercial kitchen, training rooms, and administrative offices. The building was designed for 24/7 occupancy and rapid emergency response in one of Southeast Alaska's busiest communities.

Ketchikan Fire Station No. 1 gives the city a modern emergency response facility built for the next generation of firefighters. The bi-fold apparatus doors perform reliably in the marine environment, the living quarters make 24/7 shifts genuinely comfortable, and the training spaces prepare crews for the unique challenges of firefighting in a remote coastal town. It is a building that works as hard as the people inside it, designed and built by a contractor that understands what Southeast Alaska demands.
