A New "Outpost Nine" has been built in the Rosemont community of Orlando, a new home to 30 firefighters. The new building has private bunk rooms and restrooms for crews and includes a secure room for female firefighters.
Fire Chief Benjamin Barksdale said the fire station was designed to promote diversity within the fire department as part of the “Inclusivity and Equity Action Plan.”
“The old-style fire station was what we call our community sleeping area and it provided no
privacy at all and it was very challenging for women and other genders as well,” Barksdale said.
