With a range of experience working in three different states — Minnesota, Wisconsin and Colorado – Jesse highlights living in Breckenridge, CO as a time of inspiration, working at an architectural firm while enjoying the mountains, camping, and especially skiing.

“The vibrant architectural scene, along with family ties, is what ultimately brought me back to the Twin Cities area,” Duchon goes on to say.

BURNSVILLE FIRE STATION NO. 1

CNH’s largest fire station to date, the City of Burnsville’s Fire Station No. 1 is home to a crew of all full-time firefighters and more than 44,000 SF with 10 apparatus bays. Firefighter safety was one of nine top priorities for the station. Multiple contamination zones and a designated de-contamination area will allow firefighters to keep contaminated equipment and clothing in the apparatus bay until decontaminated. Another priority in the design was firefighter mental health. A warning system that slowly ramps up with alert tones and lighting while only alerting responding staff ensures firefighters are not awoken in an abrupt manner. The station includes areas for relaxation with different lighting to promote natural sleep rhythms, as well as a yoga studio and meditation garden. Extensive firefighter training features including Firefighter 1 and advanced training elements are another highlight of the station.
