Fire stations are an important part of Swedish industrial heritage. Before 2012, no inventories of this category of buildings had been made. Nor was there a suitable inventory method for smaller but numerous objects such as fire stations, nor any directly applicable principles for assessing the industrial and cultural heritage values of fire station buildings.
Throughout the country, there is a lack of collective knowledge about the number and location of fire stations and spray houses, which means that during our inventories we have met a great deal of interest from authorities, firefighters and the public. In order to meet the demand for knowledge about these buildings and for the knowledge to be disseminated to a larger public, we want to print these documents. The project involves printing previously conducted inventories of fire stations and spray houses in Gävleborg County, Stockholm County, Södermanland County and Uppsala County during the years 2012-2015.
