The interior of the 92-year-old downtown Moscow Volunteer Fire Department station is receiving a $190,000 makeover.
Debby Carscallen, emergency medical services division chief, said the downstairs kitchen will be converted into a volunteer lounge; three first-floor offices, including her own, will become more functional; the downstairs bathroom will be Americans with Disabilities Act compliant; and the upstairs kitchen will be more accommodating for resident firefighters.
Carscallen said Sprenger Construction started the project early last month and is expected to complete it in early August. The construction is funded through MVFD fundraising efforts.
Carscallen said the lounge will allow firefighters to write reports, conduct meetings, do homework with a reliable internet connection and hang out while waiting to respond to calls.
