Introducing Fire Estates Manager Magazine: The New Resource for Fire Station Building and Facility Management

We’re excited to announce the launch of Fire Estates Manager, a brand-new digital magazine dedicated to the design, management, and maintenance of fire stations. 

Published quarterly by Marcus Media, Fire Estates Manager is poised to become an indispensable resource for fire service professionals, estates managers, and developers responsible for maintaining the facilities that support emergency services.

The magazine shines a light on every aspect of fire estate development — from concept and construction to refurbishment and futureproofing — helping ensure that fire stations are not only operationally efficient, but also built for the evolving needs of the modern fire service.

In an industry where time, safety, and reliability are everything, Fire Estates Manager champions environments that enable firefighters to focus on what truly matters — saving lives.

A Focus on Design, Efficiency, and Life-saving Innovation

One of the defining qualities of Fire Estates Manager is its focus on forward-thinking fire station design.

The magazine examines how architecture, layout, and infrastructure significantly influence operational performance. Every decision — from the placement of apparatus bays to the inclusion of decontamination zones — can impact response time, firefighter safety, and long-term facility resilience.

In particular, the first issue features in-depth articles on the future of fire station architecture, how modular design can support faster project delivery, and the benefits of flexible, multipurpose spaces. It also covers the importance of integrating sustainability into public sector builds, including the use of solar panels, energy recovery systems, and eco-friendly building materials.

Expert Insights and Real-World Case Studies

Each edition of Fire Estates Manager includes expert commentary from architects, engineers, senior fire officers, and public sector leaders.

The debut issue offers interviews with key stakeholders from recently completed projects and shares advice on procurement strategies, project timelines, and how to balance heritage preservation with modernisation in station refurbishments.

For instance, readers can explore how services like Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue have developed state-of-the-art headquarters with firefighter wellbeing in mind, or how regional services are using joint facilities to improve collaboration and efficiency. These case studies highlight creative problem-solving and provide practical insights that others in the sector can apply to their projects.

Supporting Those Who Support the Fire Service

Fire stations are more than just buildings — they are operational hubs, training grounds, and safe spaces for the people who risk their lives to protect others.

That’s why Fire Estates Manager also explores topics that support the broader picture, such as firefighter welfare facilities, digital twin technology, and the design of modern control rooms and training centres.

What’s more, you’ll find features on funding opportunities, navigating planning permissions, and updates on policy changes that affect public sector construction. As a result, the magazine becomes not just a source of inspiration but a practical toolkit for decision-makers and design teams navigating the complexities of fire station projects.

Fire Estates Manager will also be the official publication of the Fire Station Design Conference, an exclusive event dedicated to the future of fire station infrastructure, where printed copies will be distributed to key stakeholders and attendees.
