New 4 bay garage, tower, and confined space trainer.
We have contracted with Design construction company to build a 4 bay garage behind our Vinton Station to house the Training Academy Pumper (old Pumper 1, once the new Pumper 1 arrives), and the ISU (this rig will hold all training equipment) In addition they will erect a 150 foot tower to simulate radio antennas, and above ground water tank rescue situations. Finally they will install a underground vault which will be accessible via 2 manhole covers. This will allow us to train in confined space rescue. These additions will be completed by March 2009.
