Gora/McGahey receives national honors for fire station design
Gora/McGahey Architects was honored by the Fire Industry Equipment Research Organization (F.I.E.R.O.) for its design of the Fort Myers Beach Fire Control District’s Station 32. Gora/McGahey was the only Florida firm to earn the international recognition.
The nonprofit group, which primarily serves fire safety professionals in the Southeast, presented Gora/McGahey Architects with an award for the new three-story, 12,290-square-foot fire station located on Fort Myers Beach. The station includes a ground floor with three apparatus bays, bunker gear storage and a laundry/decontamination room; a second floor with living quarters, including six individual bunk rooms, an exercise room and a radio room; and a third-floor emergency operations center with offices, an open work station area and meeting/training facilities.
