Lincoln Rural Fire Chief Dean Kukuck joins rural fire protection
trustees Everett Kennett, Lynn Haseley and Jerrie Pharis (standing in
for Robert Pharis) in first shovel at the groundbreaking of the new
fire department headquarters.
The new location
on Lincoln Parkway, just north of Woodlawn Road/Route 10, will
improve response times. The move to larger quarters will allow
local equipment to come under one roof, make pullout and return to
the station quicker and safer, and improve coordination with
joint paramedic calls.
Construction is
expected to take about eight months and will begin as soon as final
design plans return. The plans went in for a few adjustments
but are expected back next week, Kukuck said.
