Kingsport Newest Fire Station Recognized by Fire Chief Magazine
KINGSPORT – KFD Station 7 won a Career Satellite Notable award from Fire Chief Magazine for architecture and design among fire departments in the United States.
We are very proud and honored to be recognized by the Fire Chief Magazine 2010 Station Style Design Awards as Career Notable. This station came about through a lot of work with our Board of Mayor and Alderman and City Manager, and the hard work of our Fire Department Staff, Chief Scott Boyd, Captain Shea Payne, Engineer J.W. Rogers and Engineer Joel Moore to identify the needs of department and our city. Kingsport Fire Chief Craig Dye said. We also want to thank Beeson, Lusk & Street Inc. for their design efforts to meet those needs.
The 7,374 square bart Station 7 was completed in October of 2009 and serves south Kingsport, Rock Springs and the I-26 & I-81 corridors providing not only fire and medical response but also houses KFDs Regional Haz-Mat Response Unit and a substation for the Kingsport Police Department.
