Monday, February 25, 2008 - Our station’s old training room has undergone a rehab. The old room was not exactly "inviting". So, we got together and put our ideas on the table and came up with this! The room is the new crew room, where our Firefighters, EMT’s and Paramedics can relax, study, and hang out between calls. The walls were painted, electrical and computer service was updated, new color on the doors and trim, new restroom fixtures, new lamps, and great new furnature. This is part of the ongoing transformation of the station. Thanks to all who participated in the planning, cleaning, painting, and installing of the new digs.  | | quite a difference! |
|  | | looking good |
