The minutes and hours after loss or tragedy can feel like a deluge of unfamiliarity; plans to make, people to call and questions to answer. In Snohomish, the chaplains of Fire District 4 are at the ready to bridge the gap to better days. “Our entire purpose is to help other people in times of need, in times of stress, when difficult things happen,” said Dana Uplinger, chaplain coordinator for the fire district.

The City of Hurricane is building a new station for the Hurricane Fire Department and has released a design mock-up, reports WSAZ.

Officials are hoping to break ground around September or October and hope to complete the project by next July. The current fire station was built nearly 50 years ago by volunteer firefighters. The new station is expected to provide space for the larger apparatus, an office and training facilities.

Swansea voters agreed exploration of whether to rebuild or expand several of its fire stations, reports The Herald News.

Up to $150,000 of free cash will be used for a feasibility and design study for a new Fire Station 1 and possible expansions to Fire Stations 2 and 4.

The study will help officials better understand the current state of the fire stations and may not signify actual construction plans.

The Dover-Foxcroft Fire Department will upgrade a 1999 pumper truck for a new model in 2022, reports Piscataquis Observer.

Fire department officials began working with three companies to replicate the pumper truck that will be replaced. Allegiance Fire & Rescue will manufacture a Pierce Enforcer 1500 GPM Top Mount Pumper for $702,965.

The fire department has been working on upgrades. A ladder truck was recently delivered and is now being readied for use. The second piece is the pumper truck and the third component is airpacks. The next month the town should learn if its airpack grant is successful. Seventeen airpacks are 29 years old and are not as safety compliant as current models.
