LIMERICK >> Finishing touches on the new $3.5 million home of the Limerick Fire Company were completed recently. While a ribbon cutting ceremony for the new facility won't take place for another few months, move-in day for the fire and ambulance crews who will call the new building home took place on Sunday.
The biggest difference for the public other than the exterior will be the absence of a hall to rent. Instead, the new facility features training and study rooms for the more than 70 firefighters to meet mandated training certifications, equipment and radio rooms and administrative offices. Additionally as well as space for members to sleep while staffing the station during weather events and other emergencies. It also has accommodations to maintain emergency medical services staging and a space to support the township emergency operations center.
