Cincinnati Fire Station #51 received several awards for its design and efficiency. Sustainable design elements include harvesting rain water to refill the pumper truck, vegetated roof areas, solar photo-voltaic panels on the south-facing standing-seam metal roof and a rain garden for storm water detention.
