“HASTEN“ Fire Station

A new HASTEN fire station is being built on the outskirts of Prague's Cholupice, serving the firefighters and the local community. The facility offers a training tower with a climbing wall, an inline track, a traffic playground, and a community centre. The design combines professional preparedness with openness to the public and becomes a place for daily gatherings. Mum Petra, 32, says: "At first, I wasn't expecting a traditional firehouse we know from our childhood, but when I walk by with my kids, they run straight to the climbing wall. It's a modern but friendly place where I meet neighbours and kids on bikes. Only when the siren goes off, I am always looking for my kids to make sure they're careful."
