The Boat - fire and Rescue Station was established for preparation to the public incidents by nature or man-made for Chao Phraya River and Canal living. Due to the increased population with the geography and housing create the unexpected incidents. The research data was gathered by interviewing local governments including fire and rescue stations who have the responsibility to rescue victims by fire and recue boat.

The tendency of public incidents has lessons learned from waterfront houses with high density of population.
The Risk Area
land-based fire units because of “poor or limited access.” And “Natural Disaster – Floods”
Area of Responsibility
Pranangkrao
Responsible from Bang Cheaugnang Canals – Bangkok Noi Canals.
Suanyai
Responsible from Bangken canal – Pranangkrao bridge
Samsen
Responsible from Pradung krungkasem Canal – Bangken canal.
Bangkhunnon Bawonmongkol
Responsible from Bangkok Yai –Mon Canals.
Responsible from Pranangkrao bridge – Kokret island
Daokhanong
Bangrak
Responsible from Krungthon bridge – Pra Pingrao bridge
Responsible from Pradung krungkasem Canal – southern of Chao Phraya River.
Lesson learned from waterfront houses of Chao Phraya River. The fire occured and fire trucks cannot get in to extinguish fire. It becomes the need of fire boats.
Samsen 6.24 km : Pradung Krungkasem Canal - Bangken Canal
Fire and lifeboat speed : 30 knot
Bawonmongkol
one (knot per hour) = 1.85200 kilometers per hour
Bangkhunnon
30 knot = 55.56 kilometers per hour
The transition of fire and rescue boats from bangrak to samsen , because the building of Bangrak would like to renovate in order to preserve the old building area.
Samsen Bangrak
The purpose is to develop samsen fire and rescue station design that would meet the needs of fireman duty in the future of refurbishment project.
While their conditions are less than desirable, the locations for boat fire and rescue station are appropriate since the station can go to extinguish fire and rescue people along the waterfront area of Chao Phraya River , Bangkok Noi Canal ,and also support the new building parliament for security.

When the signal alarm they go down by stair from the flat at the back of the station. The operation is delayed.
Now the whole functions are discriminated against the firefighters , and not in arrangements has led to the point where to design equal facilities.
The following research question was posed: How the function oriented building could offer into specificity, and link with surrounding environment ?

COMMAND- AND TRAINING CENTER OF THE COLOGNE PROFESSIONAL FIRE BRIGADE Since 09/11/2001 awareness of a possible terrorist threat has increased throughout the world. Competent authorities of the city of Cologne have stated that the primary control unit of the fire brigade bears a high risk.
“ The Intention was to place emphasis on the outstanding significance of the fire brigade with its crucial function in respect of security and society.”

Two work benches with shelving above , have compartments where the firemen store/hang their individual uniform equipment such as helmets, jacket, boots, etc.
Petrol Tank/ Gasoline/ Delivery/ Service: There is no tank with petrol/gasoline being stored at this marine firehouse location. The Navy Yard in Brooklyn (East River, east of Manhattan) covers these needs for the boat.

The operational nerve center and all its communication equipment is located on the second floor main area.
Two fire poles coming down from the second and third floor
The wave attenuator system ( at north and south ) They protect the pier from the power of water (moved by tides, wind and other major boats driving across and along the Hudson River)
Alert + Response system
Intercom + Speaker system , and alarm bell are installed in every rooms throughout the building for the incoming alert.
Wall Mountable
Housewatch Desk on 2nd floor The drive-thru is for deliveries. upload materials to or from the main vessel.
Staging area
Infrastructure The integration of communications, mechanical and circulation systems was conceived of as a landscape of connected constellations which create pockets of more intimate spaces of refuge for FDNY personnel between emergency response calls.
Mechanical area contains all units for the building service (Ventilation system for the kitchen, energy recovery units for the heating system, etc.) Since the building is constructed atop a pier, there’s no basement to accommodate all building systems.
Utility Service covers incoming power, gas, water, telecom/data, TV, as well as sewage lines going out of the building with a tie-in to the public system.
