About the Troy Fire Department – Station 2
Troy Fire Station No. 2 plays a vital role in Troy, Michigan. The station houses diverse apparatus, including a 1,500 GPM engine, a 100-foot aerial platform ladder, a 4×4 grass truck, and a boat. With numerous lakes in the area, the boat is essential for water rescues. Troy is the largest city in Oakland County, home to 387 lakes. Station 2 operates with up to 30 dedicated volunteers, contributing to a city-wide team of 180. The station responds to an average of 115 calls annually, showcasing its critical impact on the community.
Project Overview: The History Wall
In 2024, the Troy Fire Department reached out to Signarama Troy to create an interior history wall for Station 2. After initial discussions, the department returned when ready to proceed. Designing and selling history walls presents unique challenges, but our team rose to the occasion.
We used various materials, mounting methods, and dimensional pieces to craft a visually engaging display. The history wall tells the story of the department’s evolution, honoring its volunteers and achievements. It also serves as an educational tool for schools and visitors touring the station.
Results: Telling a Story Through Design
The history wall exceeded expectations, offering lasting value to Station 2. Visitors now enjoy a visually rich narrative about the department’s legacy. The display inspires volunteers by highlighting their contributions and the department’s growth. Schools and community groups benefit from this informative and impactful addition, fostering appreciation for the fire department’s work.
Signarama Troy’s history wall design delivered a powerful storytelling element while enhancing Station 2’s interior. This success underscores how interior history walls can preserve legacies, engage visitors, and celebrate achievements.
