New Firehouse In The Works For Mohegan

[x635 4,066]

According to a published report in this week's North County News, Mohegan Volunteer Fire Association (Not the district?) is looking to build a substation at Route 6 and Mill St. States it will be a prefab structure possibly done by next winter, and sounds to be a storage firehouse and ambulance substation.

Anybody have further details on this?

The Mohegan Volunteer Fire Association is in fact in the process of building a substation at Rt 6 and Mill St. The Volunteer Association will occupy this new station with the 2 antiques, 2 Fire Prevention trailers, Utility 69 (Fire Prevention Pickup Truck, and an MVFA-VAC ambulance. The VAC is looking into buying a 4th rig eventually. Because the fire district and fire association are 2 seperate entities, the volunteers are looking to gain more space because Headquarters is slowly being outgrown.

Not knowing all of the facts about this, just what is posted, This isn't a true Fire station that will be used for responding to Emergency calls. :roll: It sounds more like a storage facilitly. Just from what was posted here. #-o

For Now it may be--there will eventually be an ambulance there--and the rest will be "storage"---For Now

There was talk some years ago of that being the site of a "new" Mohegan Fire headquarters. Obviously from what I'm reading that plan has changed a bit.

The Association owns the land not the District if I am not mistaken. They really do need a place to put their equipment too!!!

The Mohegan Volunteer Fire Association has owned the land for quite some time now and now with all the equipment that the association owns, space to keep the apparatus is needed. As far as the ambulance, there is only space for 3 at Headquarters. A 4th rig can been seen being purchased in the very near future. The 4th rig will be kept here, at this new location along with the VAC's Utility and Injury Prevention Trailer that will be delivered shortly to carry "Andy the Ambulance. Another side note...this new facility will also provide space that can be occupied for offices or storage of records/equipment for the Association and VAC. Unfortunately there is only so much expansion that can be done to HQ on Rt 6.
