Due to increases in personnel and equipment, the Milton Fire Department had outgrown its existing facility.  A decision was made to incorporate the new fire station into the existing municipal campus which included the town offices and rescue facility.

The Fire Department initiated a public information campaign and   the voters of Milton responded by approving a bond for a new fire station.  The  Fire Department  Building  Committee  visited   many comparable  fire  stations  throughout  the  State of Vermont and after a series of meetings with Wiemann Lamphere Architects and their consultants, the following program of spaces was determined: 

• Engine Bay - approx. 8,000 square feet to house the trucks and related equipment, accessed by five (5) overhead doors on the front and two (2) at the back.

• Administrative Wing - approx.  4,000 square feet containing support spaces for dispatch, offices, meetings, kitchen, toilet rooms with showers, laundry, storage, and mechanical/electrical room.
  

Mechanical systems include multi-zoned radiant slab heating  throughout  with  heat  recovery  and  air conditioning  in  the  Administrative  Wing.  Exterior materials feature brick walls, vinyl siding for gable ends, standing seam metal roof, and aluminum framed windows.  Interior finishes include painted sheetrock walls, vinyl composition tile floors, 2’X2’ suspended tile ceiling, clear finish birch solid-core doors in painted steel frames with sidelights and solid birch window stools.  The Meeting Room has clear finish pine wainscoting and carpet.
