Story · Public Safety Building Committee
ALS station and cooling space
A member said the new building could serve as a cooling or heating station for emergencies, in addition to police and fire. He said heat indexes were expected to pass 100 degrees in the next few days. The library has air conditioning, but it would be closed Friday; coverage was arranged for Friday from 12:00 to 5:00. Members also discussed adding space for an ALS (advanced life support ambulance) crew. The chair said a neighboring ambulance service wants to park a third vehicle in town, and said it would bring revenue to the town and give guaranteed quick response. Members said space for bunks, a kitchen and a vehicle should be included in the building's footprint. The ALS question was held for now. Members said to follow up near the end of July or in August after the current phase, and to get input from the fire chief, who is doing the needs assessment.
