City of Poughkeepsie Fire new HQ and E3

[Goose 188]

So I’m just curious to see if anyone has any updates on the new public safety building and future home of Station 2? Must say the building looks pretty darn nice from the street, and i haven't seen much activity inside, with the exception of the spiffy new sign that was installed on the front lawn. It's my understanding that along w/ the PD, FD administrative offices will be moved to Main St. as well. Also heard that they will be hosting EMT classes out of there as well. Any truth to this?

Also, heard the other day that the training on Engine 3 is nearing completion and getting ready to be put into service. So when’s the big day?

Anyhow, i can say that I’m glad to see Station 2 get a new home and best of luck with the new truck and facilities. I appreciate the stellar hard work you guys do out there!

The Fall 2007 DCC EMT-B class location is City Fire, doesn't state which station, but Main is the only station I could imagine it being at.

507 Main Street for EMT class which is the new Station.
