The Milton Joint Fire Commission is focusing on two local options for updating Milton’s aging fire station: rebuilding in the existing location or relocating to city-owned land near the post office.
The commission, made up of Milton City Council and Milton Town Board members, discussed the options but took no action Wednesday night.
Chairwoman Theresa Rusch asked members to bring their questions to the next meeting Jan. 15.
Janesville Fire Chief Ernie Rhodes, who oversees the Janesville and Milton fire departments under a 2017 shared services agreement, presented maps of four proposed locations for a new station. “Remember this is all proposed, right? This is nothing in stone,” Rhodes said.
Using data from the Rock County 911 Communications Center, the local maps show fire calls that exceeded an eight-minute response time.
