Block 5 has made history as the first building in South Dakota to be equipped with a Firefighter Air Replenishment System (FARS).
This advanced safety feature allows firefighters to refill their air tanks directly within the building during an emergency.
By enabling on-site air replenishment, FARS enhances firefighter safety and efficiency, ensuring quicker response times and prolonged operational capability during critical situations.
