Princeton Fire Station No. 3

Strategically located in the southern quadrant to serve growing residential areas, the station provides two full drive-through bays and a half-bay within a cost-effective pre-engineered metal structure.

Interior spaces are designed to support both operational readiness and firefighter wellness. Features include a fully equipped kitchen with three shift pantries, a dedicated entertainment room with oversized recliners, a community training room for public engagement, five sleeping quarters, a fitness room, an emergency storm shelter, and private captain’s quarters with an office and restroom.

A safety vestibule separates the living areas from the apparatus bays to protect occupants from contaminants. Surrounded by new residential development and open fields, the station functions as a vital community asset while strengthening public safety in one of the city’s fastest-growing areas.
