Fire Station, Doha
The Fire Station in Doha, Qatar, is a former base for the Qatari Civil Defense Authority repurposed for the Artists in Residence programme of the Qatar Museums.
Khalifa Al Obaidli is the director and Saida Al Khulaifi is the head of programmes and exhibitions.[1] On 4 April 2023, the Fire Station held its first public event for Garangao night which was open to people of all ages.[2]
Building
The building was constructed in 1982 and was used as a residence by the Civil Defense Authority of Qatar until 2012.
The 2014 renovation, designed by the Qatari Architect Ibrahim Al Jaidah, retained many features of the building, like the honeycomb exterior or the firefighter pole. While the yellow fire engine doors were also conserved, they lost their original use as entry or exit ways after a wall was built on the inside of them to create additional space for artworks.[3][4]
