Utility44 is also out of station 1. HQ is cramped so tight that if you back up E254 (formerly TS2) about 1 1/2 feet too far, you will T-Bone the utility which is parked at a 45 in order to make it all fit . E247, you have about 3 inches of play room or you will take down a wall that we are very good at patching. Regarding the floor sagging into the bays, you are correct. It has been slowly working its way down for the past few years and in some spots has 'slipped' several inches. All and all, it is time to replace it. Remember, this building was originally made into the firehouse in 1924, and has seen additions and renovations, but the foundation is still 80+ years old. If this was a private building, I dont think that town would let anyone go into it. why should the Millwood FD have to? If rumors are correct, at one point a few years ago, I was told that the building was actually condemned by the town because of the sagging and a few other issues. The Fire District spent the money to hold the building up long enough to hopefully get another house.
