Final construction finishings are being made to Salisbury Fire Station No. 6, named in memory of fallen firefighters Vic Isler and Justin Monroe.
The station, located at 310 Cedar Springs Road, will be staffed 24 hours per day. It will also be a site used for training and as an additional emergency operations command center. The project is a couple of years in the making and is expected to be completed by September. “We just got permanent power, which will allow them to turn on mechanical units to condition the interior so they can now get the final finishes on,” said Bill Burgin, of Ramsay Burgin Smith Architects, which has overseen the construction and design of the project.
Greensboro-based Holden Building Company is handling construction of the 21,000-square-foot building. Burgin said the facility will need a final coat of paint before the rest of the ceiling, and then crews will be able to hang doors and put hardware in place.
