KAWARTHA LAKES-Construction officially began on the new Bethany Fire Hall during a ground breaking ceremony on Tuesday.
“The new fire hall allows us to operate more efficiently while still providing residents with the same high level of service they have always received,” explains Fire Chief Mark Pankhurst. “Resident safety is always our top priority.”
Located at 88 Ski Hill Road in Bethany, the new hall will service the Bethany area and replace the existing fire hall located on Highway 7A. The city says the new hall will be larger and less expensive to operate than the existing hall, and will allow firefighters to train without interrupting traffic on Highway 7A.
MVW Construction & Engineering Inc. was selected as the design and build contractor for the project.
The hall is expected to be fully operational by spring 2018.
