Residents of the Northwest Woods section of East Hampton most likely can expect some relief from oppressive homeowner’s insurance bills now that the East Hampton Fire Department is preparing to construct a new substation off Stephen Hands Path, near the intersection with Old Northwest Road. East Hampton Village and the Town Board are negotiating a lease of 0.6 acre of town-owned property between Old Northwest Road and Bull Path for the village-owned fire department to construct a 3,800-square-foot, one-story fire truck and ambulance garage. The village submitted plans for the fire substation to the East Hampton Town Planning Board last week and hopes to have the new firehouse open by early next year.
