Reflecting its status as San Francisco ’ s largest station , the new Fire Station 5 accommodates a rotating crew of 57 first responders . Replacing a derelict 1950 ’ s-era building , the 3-story firehouse is a striking beacon on a busy street corner in the Fillmore District . Five apparatus bays are located on the ground floor , officer ’ s quarters on the second , and firefighter ’ s living spaces on the third , where art glass evoking water - the firefighter ’ s most powerful tool – is integrated into the window system . Specialized training opportunities are incorporated into the design of the building ; firefighters can practice ladder deployment from the rooftop ; and a two-story-tall bay space is designed for breach and rappelling training .
