An addition will be built to station three of the Niagara Falls Fire Department.
During this week’s council meeting, politicians awarded a $513,874 contract to the lowest bidder, Scott Construction Niagara Inc., to do the job.
The project will cost $542,374, including consulting services.
The Niagara Falls Review reported on an addition coming to the local department's Fire Station 3.
Fire station three was built in the late 1960s, and was constructed using solid built masonry walls with an exterior face brick supported on a concrete foundation, the report said. During the past 50 years, staff at the Dorchester Road station has doubled, with four firefighters working either a 10- or 14-hour shift.
