For those who are eagerly following the new firehouse progress, here is what has taken place so far. In mid-July the contractors started to demolish the old firehouse. From late-July until mid-august the contractor removed the old concrete and prepped the site for new footings and a foundation. Within a week the contractor should be building the cinder block walls to form a shell. The pictures attached to this update depict a transition from mid-july up until now. Stay tuned for further updates and once again thank you to everyone for your understanding and support during this time.
