The recently-released Fire Study done by Municipal Services recommends adding a fourth, new Fire Station as the City continues to grow, but controversially also suggests re-purposing the recently-renovated Central Fire Station into an EMS, or ambulance, outpost.
The Fire Study came out earlier this month from Donald Bliss, former New Hampshire Fire Marshal and owner of Municipal Services, and made 65 recommendations, of which only a fraction were controversial. The hope, Bliss said at a meeting two weeks ago, was to provide a roadmap forward as the City and its Fire Service continues to evolve.

DOVER, N.H. The cleanup is continuing Monday on Garrison Hill in Dover after a malfunction ended a July Fourth fireworks show early.
WMUR-TV reports that about 15 minutes into the Sunday evening display, one of the six-inch shells failed to launch completely and fell back to the ground, igniting other fireworks on the ground and causing an explosion, officials say.
There were no injuries and members of Dover Fire and Rescue, who were already at the site as a precaution, were able to quickly extinguish the remaining flames.
