Fire committee approves small-hardware fixes; station renovation design work to follow
Summary
A town liaison reported June 24 that the fire committee approved about $10,988 for a hard-wired overflow alarm for a station holding tank and discussed design and schedule for Station 1 and Station 4 renovations, with design and bidding expected this winter and construction next spring/summer.
During liaison reports at the June 24 council meeting, the town’s public-safety liaison summarized recent fire-committee business, including a vote to fund a hard-wired overflow alarm for a holding tank and initial design steps for renovations at Station 1 and Station 4.
The committee approved an estimate of $10,988 to add a hardwired overflow alarm and related connections for a holding tank used to capture wash/rinse water and other run-off from vehicle bays. The alert device will tie into the building’s electrical service and provide notification if the tank approaches capacity.
Committee members also reviewed estimates for Station 1 and Station 4 work. Reported scope items include an addition to the apparatus bay at Station 1, replacement of slab drains and oil/water separators, and loop bearing and control-joint work at Station 4. The committee discussed adding air conditioning work later if funds remain. The design team will prepare documents and return more information by the end of summer, with design and bid documents targeted for late winter and construction expected in the following construction season.
Councilors framed these items as committee-level recommendations; the liaison described the committee as finalizing design directions and timeline such that more detailed construction plans will be available in late 2025, allowing projects to proceed in full construction season.
