The Westfield Volunteer Fire Department is in the final stages of a major renovation and expansion project that should provide room for the department to increase its service to the surrounding community both now and in the future. According to Westfield Fire Chief Jonathan Sutphin the current fire station was built in 1982 and has been outgrown. “The department has totally run out of space,” he said. “We will need to buy a new truck in the next 10 years and the shortest truck, on the same chassis we have now, is 30.5 feet long. Our bays are 30 feet long and we have to plan and prepare for the future.” Sutphin also noted that one of the department’s trucks is now having to be housed outside the station.
