Alarm of a different kind is what the Parma Heights Fire Department discovered late last year leading to emergency construction work at the Pearl Road fire station.
“The fire station was inspected by a qualified construction company,” Parma Heights Fire Chief Matt Bernard said. “It was under their recommendation that the building’s structural integrity needed to be addressed before a catastrophic failure.” Parma Heights City Council President Tom Rounds added, “The need for repair can’t be ignored so appropriate money has been moved in the budget to address this situation.”
The winning bid for the estimated $80,900 masonry project, which includes the shoring and protection of the northern and southern overhead doors, went to Grunwell-Cashero.
