Community News Letter February 2012
On Sunday August 29, 2004 the fire department hosted an
open house for the newly constructed fire hall. We were
proud to show off the latest improvement to provide fire
and medical support to our community. The purchase of the
land and the construction was funded by funds that had
been saved for many years. At that time, the department
adopted a ten-year plan for improvements to this new
station.
Mason County Fire District is proud to announce the district's
plan to develop the second phase of Station 9-2 located
at 50 East Roadrunner Rd. Shelton. In November of 2011,
the Board of Fire Commissioner's approved the spending of
invested fire funds to start the project. The first portion of
this phase was to drill a well and establish a water system for
the Fire Station which has been completed.
The next part of the project is to have a sewer system
designed and installed. And the final step will be the
building of living quarters that will support both Firefighter
and Medical Aid personnel to include ALS Medical staff.
These improvements would greatly improve the response
times for alarms. This construction cost for the total project
came from contracted fire protection and wild land fire
fighting reimbursements from the state. These moneys
were invested for many years for the sole purpose to
replace equipment and up-grade the district service to the
community.
New Volunteers may call AI Lester at 360-426-7317 or Andy
Anderson at 360-898-7711.
