The building comprises a total gross area of 1173 m2and lodges the support functions to the fire brigade. Starting from the “Lobby – Access”,it is organized in 3 floors.


It develops exclusively at the ground floor level in the continuity of the sector A, with its own access from the corner of the B and C streets, houses the tasks of the associative sector and comprises a total gross area of 145 m2:


- Lobby – common to the sector A - Reception and board secretariat - Board room - Full accessibility sanitary


Between sectors A and B there is acirculation space, openonto a courtyard, communicating with all building functions.


In the terrain remaining space, between the building and the EN 104, lies the Operational Parade, of 914 m2, withaccess from the C street and directly from the car park.


Next to the Operational Paradeis located the Home-School(CE) and the workshop and washing (OL).


The Honor Paradeis located next to the building main façade from the C Street. regarding the landscaping project and exterior arrangements, the proposal envisages the establishment of paved green areas that will serve asa framework and support space. The paved areas, excluding the car accesses and the terrace area outside the Bar, are coated with stone trimmed asphalt concrete.

Occasionally some trees will be brought, fedby anautomatic irrigation systemand flagged by boilers in the paved areas.
