In Alaska, everything is big. The mountains. The glaciers. And, the fire stations. The new Fire Station 73 in Big Lake, Alaska boasts 19 large garage doors from Haas Door, making them one of the biggest fire departments in “The Last Frontier” state.
Opened in early 2018, the West Lakes Fire Department was built by Howdie Inc., a general commercial contractor in south central Alaska. The fast track design/build project began in April 2017 and was completed just 10 months later. The massive structure serves as a combination facility for two separate emergency services departments.
