Situated on 2.76 acres, Fire Station 17 is a 12,597-square-foot, two-story building with a 2,585-square-foot storage facility. The new station houses accommodations for on-duty firefighters, a physical fitness facility, community room and fire training facilities located interior of the apparatus bay with movable walls for various scenarios. Fire Station 17 also includes a kitchen, classrooms, decontamination room and onsite diesel and gasoline fuel distribution
Located at 11000 Ben C. Pratt Six Mile Cypress Parkway, Fire Station 17 serves the growing areas south of Colonial Blvd. and portions of I-75 which will, in some cases, cut response time in half. Built to serve as an additional safe haven for essential service operations, the facility was built to withstand severe weather, flooding and other disasters.
Stevens Construction provided twelve months of preconstruction services, working closely with the City of Fort Myers and the design team to identify almost $500,000 in approved cost-savings suggestions.
