Millersville Fire Dept To Get New 2017 E-ONE Fire Engine

Millersville Fire Dept To Get New 2017 E-ONE Fire Engine

Millersville Fire Dept To Get New 2017 E-One Commercial Fire Engine MILLERSVILLE TENNESSEE: (Smokey Barn News) - The Millersville Commissioners voted to approve the purchase of a new 2017 E-One commercial fire engine tonight, according to the Millersville Fire Department.

“We are so thankful that we have such a great group of elected commissioners”

This purchase will be replacing a 1992 E-One fire engine.

The Millersville Fire Department is a full service City funded fire department that covers the City of Millersville.

No. 1 Fire Station Prepares for New Home

Construction is expected to be completed in the spring on the new three-bay fire station on St. Louis Street at Myrtle Street and the fire department's administration building adjoining the fire station in the Wayhaven Subdivision on Kissinger Street at Hubert Redburn Drive.

The current Fire Station No.1 located on Broadway will be torn down and plans call for that area to be made into an extended parking lot for the West Plains Civic Center, Fire Chief Tim Bean said.

The cost of these projects is $1.55 million and is being paid for through the voter-approved one-half cents capital improvement sales tax that was extended for 11 years in 2012, according to city administrator Tom Stehn.

The contractor for the two buildings is Gentry Construction Company of Houston, Mo.

Once the administration building is completed the offices at the main fire station on Broadway will be moved to the new administrative offices and the fire station there will then be known as the No. 1 station.

The administration building has 3,000 square feet and will house a classroom, exercise room, bedrooms for on-duty firefighters, a day room and kitchen.

The offices of Chief Bean and Assistant Chief Roy Sims will be located in the administration building.
