Conference update · May 2024
FORTS at the 2024 Station Design Conference
In May 2024, FORTS published an update from the Station Design Conference describing its Temporary Fire Station exhibit and conversations with fire-service professionals. The display focused on rooms and supporting facilities for departments planning temporary crew accommodation.

The questions behind the exhibit
The original update described interest in layout, deployment and the relationship between sleeping, shared living and support spaces. Seeing a configured facility gave visitors a way to ask questions about those choices.
The article was written while the conference was underway. It is retained as a historical participation record rather than a measurement of attendance, sales or customer results.
Apply the discussion to a current project
Current FORTS temporary fire-station solutions use FORTS 38 shelters. A department can start with its shift, privacy needs and common spaces, then develop the connected arrangement and selected support pods.
Bring the site and equipment requirements into the same plan. The fire-station resources show current examples and a tour that can help the team identify useful questions before discussing a proposal.
