EAST AURORA FIRE CONTROL CHIEFS' ASSOCIATION

The Elma Fire Company is proud to announce that the construction of their new Station #2 is almost complete. The new station is located on Girdle Road next the Boys & Girls Club and across the street from the Iroquois Central School complex (several pictures). The station has 3 bays, lavoritories, a day room, offices and much needed storage. The rear of the building has a shelter built in for future fund raisers. As Elma’s Fire Protection District has grown, the need for a 2nd station was a much needed addition. The property that the building was erected on was actually purchased many years ago for just this purpose.

Marilla Fire Company's new Engine #4 has been completed. The unit is built on a 4x4 Freightliner M2 chassis, 1250 gpm, 500 gallon water tank and stainless steel body. The unit was built by Rosenbauer and will be delivered from their production facility in South Dakota to the dealer in Grand Island the week of 4/20/09. After a few days of equipment mounting and lettering, the unit should arrive @ the Marilla fire hall by April 24th. After more equipment mounting and training, the unit will go into service araound the middle of May.
