  This is our
Firemen's Lounge. Hey, you just can't walk into a furniture store and purchase red
furniture. You have got to have it special made! But, what other color
furniture would one want in a Fire Station? |
 It's a rule! All desk have to
be FIRE TRUCK RED. Pictured here is the department's Operations Center. |
 This
beautiful entertainment center was built from red oak lumber that was donated to our
department by Storey Sawmill & Lumber
Co., Inc. Every good fire station needs a kitchen. It's where a firemen
needs to stay if he can't stand the heat! This one has just a touch of red. |
 This is a
MAKO 5,000 Psi compressor and fill station that is used to refill our SCBA (self contained
breathing apparatus) cylinders. This system can refill a thirty (30) minute capacity
air cylinder in approximately five (5) minutes. The refill station (located on the
right) can accommodate two (2) cylinders for refilling. While the cylinders are
being filled, they are housed underneath water inside a fragmentation shield to protect
the operator in the event of a cylinder rupture.This system was purchased in 1996 and cost $12,000.00, nearly $4,000.00 more than Engine 1 cost when it was purchased in 1951. However, it's a mandatory tool to ensure the safety of today's firefighters! |
