After
a year of renovations to Station 2 we were able to open the station at 0800 on
September 1, 2005. The work at Station 2 was performed under the guidance of
Dave Conley, Superintendent of Buildings and Don Anderson and Kevin Sullivan
from Building Maintenance. It was through their extraordinary efforts that we
were able to complete this project. What they have accomplished with this
building is short of amazing given the scope of the project. They had nearly
completed what we called the original phase of the project when we received an
additional $500,000 from the States supplemental budget which was for fire
safety improvements in East Walpole. These monies enabled us to complete the
project and finish the upgrade and renovation before occupying the station. We
are extremely grateful to our legislative delegation and the Office of Travel
and Tourism for securing these funds for the Town of Walpole. The Station is now
manned 24/7 and operates with a 3 man engine company staffed with a lieutenant
and two firefighters. As a result of this station being manned we have seen a
dramatic drop in our East Walpole response rates which means that we are getting
to the call faster.
