Fire chief reports exterior concrete issues at Station 84, expected mid‑July occupancy; department seeks additional firefighters
Summary
Fire Chief Dave Baird told trustees that Fire Station 84 has exterior concrete issues and an expected occupancy date of mid‑July; he also said the department needs additional firefighter positions to be filled.
Fire Chief Dave Baird told the Norwich Township Board of Trustees on July 1 that exterior concrete work at new Fire Station 84 remains an outstanding issue and that the department is targeting mid‑July for occupancy.
Baird also told trustees the department needs additional firefighter positions to be filled; the minutes note the staffing need but do not specify the number of positions, hiring timetable or funding source. The board took no separate vote on staffing at this meeting; Baird’s remarks were recorded as a department update.
Separately, trustees approved a payment to ESIS, Inc. for an auto accident involving Ladder 81 and recorded the earlier auction sale of a 2008 dump truck for $13,000. Those items were handled as routine fiscal matters later in the agenda.
Baird’s update indicates the township remains finalizing the station fit‑out and staffing plans; the minutes do not include a contractor timetable for the concrete repairs or a recruitment timeline for new hires.
