Did I ever mention we are getting a new firehouse? The existing one is old, falling apart, tiny, and pretty gross. This one has been in the works for a few years now, and is finally coming together. We did a walk through today. I have some photos to show. The bays (garage) have been going up for the last few months. and then yesterday and today they brought in the living quarters. They were built at the shop, and then brought in by section ( looked similar to a manufactured home) and craned in place. It was pretty interesting to watch.
Here they are putting the trussess up on the modules. Notice the drive up...covered parking into the aide room.
You can see the modules a little better here. The white stuff is the plastic over the non existing ceilings.
Inside the bays. This is where all the trucks, engines, seadoos, etc go. It is huge, but will be filled up shortly. Look at the sheets of sheetrock...probably 4x12...massive!
Another view of the bays.
This is the covered entry.
Here is one of the bunk rooms. There are 4. 2 beds to each room. The bunk rooms they are in now, are about the size of a closet. This is pretty exciting.
This is the training/class room. you can see the lines on the far wall. that is where the modules are connected. so, some technically just had one wall and the floor and I guess probably some of the ducting and stuff in the ceiling. I am not sure, but I was impressed how much was done inside since they finished connecting them all together today!
This is the front door/entry way.
A bathroom with a shower.
Captain's room. Usually they would bunk here. the door behind J goes into the log room where the calls come in.
The corner will be the kitchen.
This is the day room. where the guys will 'live'. home away from home. Those windows look out in to the golf course.
I was trying to show the golf course view.....
another view from the front/side. The front pillars are brick. I guess the bay doors are going to be red. :)
It was fun to walk through. the guys have been waiting along time for this, and have been living in unacceptable conditions for a long time. So, this is very excited. The plan is for an October move in...I think! We will keep you posted!
