Klassen shared how the increased storage in the new hall has streamlined the department’s operation and call response. “Now, every truck has its own base, so we do not have to worry about which truck goes out first. Certainly, it is more efficient for us. It allows for a faster response.” He emphasized how the new facility s size, especially while dealing with COVID restrictions, has maximized the department s productivity. “It’s three times the size of the building we were in, so it gives us enough room to store all of our equipment inside, it allows for a proper meeting and conference room where we can train. The big thing is just the amount of space we have now, compared to what we did have. It just allows for so much more when it comes to training and things like that.”
Everyone was excited that the new fire hall is very close to completion. The equipment is being moved over from current location, minor follow-up work would need to be completed but will be fully operational in the coming week. Miller said council was super happy to see this project come together and on time. They weren’t sure how the pandemic would impact it, but thankfully there was minimal interruption. With COVID restrictions in place, there was no grand opening or huge celebration of the new fire hall but the Town of Carlyle staff and council were hoping that people would rejoice in the completion of this modern, well-equipped facility for our area. A few were present for a ribbon cutting on Monday.
