North Strabane Moves Forward On New Fire Station

North Strabane Township Supervisors took the final steps toward building a new fire station in the Eighty Four area of the Township. At their legislative meeting Supervisors awarded nearly $4 million dollars in bids to begin the construction of Station # 2. Robert Balogh, Supervisor Chairman indicated that insurance ratings played a large role in deciding to build the station. Balogh pointed out that once this station is built, residents all over the township could see a reduction in their fire insurance. Mark Grimm, Fire Chief is pleased that he will have a station that will be able to fit the equipment needed to serve the public in that area but will be able to serve the police as well. Staffing for the new station is set so no new hires will be needed. Grimm is appreciative of the relationship the fire department has with the township. Township officials expect the new station to be ready in the spring of 2020
