The prestigious Station Design Awards is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. The competition recognizes architects or construction firms and fire departments for innovations and achievements in fire station design and construction.

Every Station Design entry received will appear in the November issue of Firehouse Magazine (see last year's article in the Features section below) and on Firehouse.com and be seen by more than 350,000 chiefs, officers, manufacturers, and fire service personnel.

The deadline for entries is Aug. 4.
