Rider-Berry designed the entry to highlight the firefighter's universal symbol of protection and celebrate the South Mountain landscape around the station. The suggestion of blue water flowing beyond the floor's central icon is meant to remind us of this area's agricultural history and irrigation system.  The flames emanating from the Maltese cross reminds visitors of the dangerous and unpredictable conditions firefighters face.​
