Fire stations are industrial buildings, which due to their function and architecture are important symbols of industrial heritage. No known inventories have previously been made, and therefore the stock of Swedish fire stations should be inventoried from a cultural-historical perspective. The project consists of: 1. Developing a method for inventories, with classification according to, among other things, building types, age, condition, threat of demolition, insensitive conversion, damage and decay. The method should be able to be used in inventories from county level up to national level. 2. Test and refine the method through inventories primarily in Västmanland, Stockholm and Örebro counties. The inventory method will be developed from previously conducted, county-by-county inventories of smaller industrial buildings. The method will be developed and tested during the inventory of fire stations in Västmanland County. The method will then be refined during an inventory in Stockholm and Örebro counties. The method will ensure quality assurance that inventories made in geographically different areas are uniform and comparable. The results of the inventories can be used by research institutions, county museums and municipal antiquities, among others.
