Eastham Fire Station In BLOOM

This projects aim is to improve Eastham Fire Station’s presence within the local area of Eastham. We want to make Eastham Fire station a focal point within the community by making it brighter, more vibrant, with a welcoming & inviting aura. Apart from attending daily emergency call outs we also provide and work with a range of youth groups within the area such as, Schools, scouts, brownies, fire cadets etc at station. We provide a space to for these youths to come to station to teach and train about fire safety, how to act in an emergency whilst building a report to create a lasting trust between themselves and emergency services. We also provide fire safety advice and guidance to local residents on how to keep themselves, their families and the local community safer by educating the various risks of causes of fire and prevention. We do this at home and commercial addresses but also at the fire station.

Our plan is to re image the fire station courtyard which spans over 50m with an array of wooden planters, trellis & hanging baskets to provide year round blooms to create a colourful space for the locals to enjoy, to increase our presence within the community, to become more inviting for locals, to improve local engagement, to continue building a healthy report with youth in the area and to develop the Eastham area. We would also build upon our memorial area for fallen firefighters within the courtyard, again to plant year round blooms, to fit a spotlight for the firefighter plaque, have a working solar water feature and a bug hotel. We would build a multi-function staging area to provide a safer area to work with youth that visit the station, and to provide fire advice to locals in a warmer/ inviting setting, this would be a composite decking that would need minimal upkeep and maintenance, with yearly planted blooms to provide a safe space for all that visit Eastham Fire station
