Spiral garage doors have become increasingly popular in fire stations due to their speed, reliability, and high-performance features. In emergency situations, every second counts—fire station doors must open quickly and consistently to ensure rapid vehicle dispatch. Alongside firefighting vehicles, tools, and personal gear, the garage door is a vital piece of equipment. A slow or unreliable door can delay rescue efforts, potentially leading to severe loss of life or property. That’s why high speed spiral garage doors are the preferred option. Here are four key reasons they’re the right choice for fire station applications:
Fast Opening With High-Speed Spiral Doors
High speed Spiral door uses advanced servo motor systems with multiple output interfaces, allowing seamless integration with fire alarm systems and one-touch emergency opening. For example, when the fire alarm sounds, the door opens automatically—no manual reaction is needed, saving valuable time. With opening speeds of up to 1.5 meters per second, these doors drastically reduce wait time and accelerate emergency response. In firefighting, even a few seconds can mean the difference between life and death.
Emergencies — Even During Power Outages
Rescue operations can happen at any time, under any condition. While spiral doors are powered electrically, they are also designed to operate in unexpected situations such as power outages. Emergency manual release systems allow the door to be opened by hand, ensuring uninterrupted access. For added assurance, optional backup power supplies can also be installed to guarantee continuous operation during critical moments.
Flexible Installation Options For Spiral Garage Doors In Varied Spaces
Fire trucks are typically large, and fire station buildings often have unique structural conditions. Spiral doors offer flexible mounting options such as turbo coil, oval coil, or vertical lift designs to accommodate various overhead space constraints. This versatility makes them suitable for fire stations with different ceiling heights and layouts.
Built-In Safety Features For Spiral Garage Doors In High-Speed Operations
Though spiral doors open quickly, safety is never compromised. The door panels are made of durable aluminum alloy and are relatively heavy—high-speed movement could pose a risk if not properly managed. That’s why spiral garage doors are equipped with safety edge sensors to reduce impact force, as well as infrared safety curtains that detect people or vehicles in the doorway. These features ensure the safety of both personnel and firefighting vehicles.
