Cost Effective, Customized, and Flexible Fire Station Solutions
Rubb’s tension membrane modular fire stations offer municipalities a variety of apparatus bay design options. Rubb structures are configured to meet the needs of an active firehouse including wash bays, an open truss design which can support hanging mechanical equipment, energy efficient lighting, and climate control systems. Rubb is also able to design the structure to accommodate most high-speed door systems and exhaust devices.
Rubb firehouses can be provided with highly efficient Thermohall® insulated cladding, our market-leading insulation system which has been proven highly effective in extreme environments; both hot and cold.

Firehouse Structure Types
Rubb can provide custom designed firehouses in a variety of configurations and sizes to suit your specific requirements.
BVR Structure
The BVR features rectangular leg and roof box sections. This takes up less space and provides more overall internal clearance. This design is a popular choice for bulk storage buildings.
BVE Structure (Lattice Leg)
BVE structures feature lattice frame sidewalls and can be designed with single or multiple lattice roof pitches. Span widths start from 20m to 40m, by any length.
BVE Structure (Column Leg)
BVE structures feature lattice or column frame sidewalls and can be designed with single or multiple lattice roof pitches. Span widths start from 20m to 40m, by any length.
NV Structure
The NV was the first steel truss span building by Rubb. The design originated in Norway and has a vertical sidewall. The high arch of the roof makes this profile ideal for bulk storage.
