The Allouez Township Fire Department has finished moving into their new home. For years the department saved money from a township millage to finance the construction of a larger facility to house their truck and equipment. In total the new building cost about 900,000 dollars, and the department did have to take out a small loan.
The departments old hall had a number of issues from heating and cooling problems, as well as the building was to small to house all their equipment. And the new facility will do a much better job of that. The department’s Assistant Chief, John Cima, says that you can tell the department is excited about the move.
The department hopes to upgrade other equipment so they are better prepared for emergencies. Stop by the Allouez Township Fire Department tomorrow night at 6 pm to tour their new hall and meet the firefighters who help keep the community safe. The new Allouez Township Fire Hall is located at 104 Second Street in Mohawk.
