With the decision made to move ahead to construct a new fire station in 2005, the building committee took input for the officers and members for features for consideration in the new structure. Major consideration was given to insure there would be adequate space for apparatus. As a result, four apparatus bays, 60+ feet deep with 14’ high doors will allow the largest piece of fire apparatus built (58’) long to easily fit into quarters. The front of the station will feature a wide concrete apron that will allow for all apparatus to be pull out of the station.

On the first floor of the station, an exercise room will allow personnel to “work out”. The remainder of the first floor living quarters included a lounge/day room, a communications room, a residential type kitchen and eating area, and a storage area. Also featured on the first floor is a training room that can accommodate 50 students. This room will also serve a dual purpose as a meeting room.

The height of the structure allowed for the development of the second floor. The area directly above the first floor living area will be fully utilized. This area will include a large recreational area, an area that will be divided to offices for the officers, a meeting room, shower facilities and quiet room.  The building will feature radiant heat flooring and living areas will be air-conditioned.

One thing that is missing; a banquet hall. While the banquet hall served it's purpose for many years, changes in the public's demand for the facilities and a review cost/profit benefits made it clear to the membership that there would be no banquet hall in the facility. While the hall was often used for various fund raising activities, the building committee has explored other revenue generating options, NOT dependent on a banquet hall. The banquet hall was finally sold in August 2007.

Relocation to the new station occurred on April 25, 2006.
