Brunswick (ME) Adjusting to New $13M Fire Station

After more than a century serving the town from the historic Central Fire Station at Town Hall Place, the Brunswick Fire Department is adjusting to its new, thoroughly modern digs, pressherald.com reported.

Brunswick firefighters began moving into their new $13 million, 26,000-square-foot station at 119 Pleasant Street on Dec. 22, 2022.

The department received a nice surprise Monday, the department announced on its Facebook page. “Dave Watson delivered this incredible piece for our new station. The podium was originally donated to the American Legion by Robert and Gretchen Evans. The Legion thought it was better suited for our new training room as we settle into our new station. A very special thanks to Mr. & Mrs. Evans, and to the American Legion.”
