Community Building Project
Kohlsville Fire Department | Custom Post-Frame Fire Station
Kohlsville, Wisconsin
Project Overview:
In the heart of Washington County, Wisconsin, the Kohlsville Fire Department stands as a living symbol of community spirit and perseverance.
A century after its founding, the Kohlsville Volunteer Fire Department partnered with Walters Buildings to construct a new fire station that would honor its history while supporting the future. Completed in 2009, this post-frame facility was engineered to deliver functionality, safety, and durability, ensuring that the department could continue to protect the region for generations to come.
