🏠 Fire Stations: More Than Just Workplaces
For our firefighters, the station isn’t just where they work—it’s where they live. With thousands of hours spent away from their families, these spaces become second homes. That’s why the Fire District has launched a comprehensive evaluation of all our stations to ensure they’re safe, clean, and comfortable.

🚧 This week, improvements began at Fire Station #7 on Main Road, including:
• HVAC deep cleaning
• Mold remediation
• New carpets & fresh paint
• Updated appliances
• Deep cleaning of floors & apparatus bay

🗣️ “With 24/7, 365-day use, it’s critical we stay ahead of issues and make these stations as comfortable as possible,” said Fire Chief Ryan Kunitzer. “While not a full renovation, these updates will help prolong the life of our stations.”

🏗️ In addition to these upgrades, the District is moving forward with two major capital projects:
• Replacing Fire Station #5 on River Road
• Building a new station to replace aging Fire Station #1 on Maybank

“I thank our Commission for their continued support. We’ll keep making improvements to ensure our firefighters have the safe and supportive environments they deserve,” added Chief Kunitzer.
