Plattsville Getting New Fire Hall

Monday, 17 June 2013 11:10

Work on a new fire hall in Plattsville is expected to begin next month. Mayor Marion Wearn says there has been a need for a new facility for a number of years. "The old fire hall is in a flood plane, and really has had its end use. The new fire hall will be going across from the school, and where the arena is on Walter St." Wearn says the new facility will cost around $400,000 and have a similar design and layout to the new fire hall that recently opened in Drumbo. Wearn says, "We have been planning for this and budgeting for this, because as an emergency centre, we really need to get it out of the flood plane."
