Lower Currituck (NC) Donates Fire Apparatus to School Program

Lower Currituck (NC) Donates Fire Apparatus to School Program

When it comes to donating school supplies, firefighters in Currituck go big. The Lower Currituck Volunteer Fire Department donated a fire truck to Currituck County High School's public safety program on Saturday. It made the donation during its "Hawgs and Dogs" fundraiser held at the Outer Banks Harley-Davidson dealership in Harbinger.

That donation puts Currituck's program well ahead of the curve, public safety instructor Wayne Turner said Saturday before accepting the truck from Lower Currituck Fire Chief Vernon Hart. Few high school public safety programs in the area have vehicles to practice with, he said, describing the fire engine as a major asset for the high school's two-year-old public safety program.

Watertown (NY) City Council Agrees on Fire Station Work

City Council members learned Monday night why the entire heating and air conditioning system at the Massey Street Fire Station must be replaced at a cost of $450,000. Council members wanted to know why the budgeted $200,000 project turned into a $450,000 complete overhaul.

City Engineer Justin L. Wood explained it was better to replace the entire HVAC system rather than just the 50-year-old air handlers that were still used before the fire station was converted from an old city pool back 25 years ago.

The city had planned just replacing the air handlers — blowers that move air around the building — at a cost of $200,000 until an engineering firm evaluated the system and recommended a complete redo, Mr. Wood said.
