Missing the point completely
They are not talking about open public access to the firebays where all the fire engines operate - but don't let that get in the way of your 'story'.
This is about having meeting spaces and classrooms as a part of the 'modernisation' move from intervention (putting out fires) to prevention (not having fires to put out). Getting the messages across to vulnerable groups and working with disaffected youth to prevent fires will help to further reduce the number of fires and therefore the number of casualties.
