The Bellview Fire Station building site encompasses an approximate 16,500 square foot footprint. It is a two (2) story structure visible from Pine Forest Rd. The external building façade was  observed to be corrugated metal panel siding and fiber cement board siding around the front porch area. The building has one main parking lot/drive way for vehicle parking, ingress, and egress. There are four (4) large commercial roll-up doors on the South side of the building – presumably for emergency vehicle ingress and egress. Three (3) aluminum framed doors were noted along the exterior of the building; one at the front of the fire station for general public access and two at the side of the building for personnel access to the vehicle bays. The roof is a gabled corrugated metal R-panel roof over bagged insulation directly fastened to structural steel framing. The interior is broken up into two (2) separate sections – vehicle cargo bay and living areas. The personnel areas (kitchen, living quarters, and common rooms) have typical interior finishes such as painted gypsum wallboard, suspended ceiling grid systems with batt insulation,
vinyl tile floors and rubber wall base molding.
