McKinley Avenue Fire Station Open House
2023-04-29 10:00 - 12:00 UTC | McKinley Avenue Fire Station, 272 McKinley Avenue, Rutland, 05701
As many are aware, our Fire Department has been part of a long process working towards replacing the McKinley Avenue Fire Station with a new Public Safety Facility which is designed to serve our Town for many years to come.
The current building does not meet the needs of the department and presents challenges for housing the apparatus, as well as regular maintenance.
There is a special vote coming up on May 23rd asking the voters to continue their support with approving the additional resources needed to more forward.
We invite anyone interested in seeing the current building and talking with our members about what this means to our department to join us at the open house.
