The Grosse Tete Volunteer Fire Station has four apparatus bays, kitchen, living quarters, an office space and a training/conferencing center. Nestled in the center of the small Louisiana village, It is one of the main getaways into Iberville Parish and lies to the west of Baton Rouge along Grosse Tete Bayou. The Community is defined by its majestic live oaks, green pastures, front porches, and the grace of the bayou.

A volunteer fire station is a place of living heroes – people who risk their lives daily to save others. This station is an attempt to honor and assist them in that critical and selfless work. Credit for the inception and realization of this project belongs solely to two men, the Fire Chief and the Mayor of the Village.

The Village had the honor of being the sole recipient in Louisiana of funding under the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for the full construction of a new fire station. The new building is a replacement of the existing warehouse that stored the fire apparatus. It fulfills the needs of the department not only as the first responder to the 637 residents, but they are also the first responders for one of the most probable areas for vehicular emergencies along a 35-mile section of Interstate-10. This department responds to an average of 200 calls per year over this stretch of the Interstate. The form of the building references many characteristics of the Village while strictly adhering to the programmatic needs of the fire chief.
