The Lower Swatara Fire Department’s
new facility is located at 1350 Fulling
Mill Road in Middeltown,
Pennsylvania.
The 23,000 square foot facility contains
a six bay apparatus area, offices, live in
housing for emergency personnel, and
a training room. The training room
also serves as a multipurpose room for
a variety of functions.
In the event of a natural disaster, the
facility was designed to be used as a
refuge and includes a full service
kitchen and showers.
The structure was constructed with
reinforced concrete split face block
with arched engine bay doors. Pilasters
and detailing give the building its
traditional style.
