April 2016

As many of you know, the current fire station is outdated and the New Glarus Fire Department is hoping to add an expansion to the existing building. With more firefighters on the roster now than when the current building was completed, more space is required to adequately house supplies and equipment as well as provide room for training. The fire department’s goal is to stay prepared and ready for our growing community. The building expansion is expected to total $300,000.
