Sector: Blue Light
2HA have a longstanding ongoing relationship with North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service through which we have designed and procured three fire stations in the North Yorkshire towns of Grassington, Danby and Summerbridge. The latest building at Summerbridge will be designed sustainably to achieve Breeam ‘Very Good’ when completed in late 2013. In November 2013 we were appointed to gain planning consent for the proposed new Boathouse at Selby Fire Station.
2HA is also appointed from April 2013 to the West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Services Standing List of consultants. We have since been appointed to deliver Rothwell Fire Station and will be instructed toward the end of 2013 to refurbish the ‘Fire House’ at WYF&RS headquarters.
