Warehouse adapted to firehall

Sidney’s volunteer firemen have
‘dug in-to their new digs, adapting
two bays of a warchouse to create a
temporary firchall.

The fire department moved to
the temporary hall at 2031 Malav-
iew the first week of November as
the old Third Strect hall was
demolished in preparation for con-
struction of a new one. ,

The new hall will be completed
at the end of April or carly in May

“next year, said inspector Larry
Buchanan. Construction has
already been delayed two weeks
because of heavy rain.

Buchanan said the temporary
hall site, leased in the Slegg Lum-
ber facility, was the best space at

the best price offered to the fire

department.

To allow for the fire department
trucks, the usual main divider
between the two warehouse bays
was not installed. A temporary
wall was put in place to create a
meeting room and lounge for fire-
men,

The fire chief's office is tucked
into a corner of a mezzanine
overlooking the bays, which also
provides storage space.

Volunteers from the fire depart-
ment, aided by two municipal
staff, moved the furniture and

- equipment from the old hall to the .

warchousce.

“We're fortunate that this was
available when we needed it,” said
Buchanan,

Signs have been installed identi-
fying the entrance to the ware-

“house complex asa fire lane and
climinating parking behind the
bays, to allow easy egress by ie
trucks.

Firemen received their first call-

out from the temporary hall the |
- same day the department moved,

Buchanan said. There were no
problems answering the first call
and have been no problems since.

In addition to the Malaview
Avenue hall there is another tem-
porary hall from the public works
yard on Ocean Boulevard. One fire
pumper and an emergency vehicle
have pushed public works vehicles
out of the covered storage at the
works yard.

Buchanan said emergency vehi-
cles must be kept under cover, to
protect the gear and equipment.

Both halls have radio communi-
cations centers. Firemen living to ;
the east of the Pat Bay Highway es
respond to the work yard and those
living west of the highway
responds to.the Malaview Drive

‘1 don’t think the response ime
has significantly changed. It all
depends on where the fire is,’
Buchanan said.

A WAREHOUSE FIREHALL, temporary quarters for the
Sidney Volunteer Fire Department while their new hall is
being constructed, is looked over by fire inspector Larry.
