Fire brigade operating from fire station in forest

As the town of Bern stretches far to the west, the fire brigade has moved its station to the edge of Bremgarten Forest which has good transport connections.

Like an urban mediator, the station interposes itself between the energy centre in the west and the goods yards to the east. The elongated main wing of the building is also very spacious, comprising five storeys and a pronounced west section.

The main wing consists of the vehicle hangar on the ground floor, the control room, recreation rooms, the administration as well as foyer, office and theory room. The single-storey workshop section joins on to the main building on its northern flank. The multi-purpose hall serves the purpose of providing specific technical training as does the exercise and training tower.
