A.ALDRIDGE V LIG 115 FIRE CHIE[- OFFIG'F: 628-5126 TOWN OF NEWCASTLE REPORT TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE - MEETING OF DECEMBER 5, 1983. REPORT NO. FD 20-83. SUBJECT: Clarke Museum Archives re Orono Fire Hall Items. Our File 10.12.6 RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully recommended: THAT this report be received for information. BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS A request was received from the Clarke Museum Board asking for items of interest and historical value, which might be acquired from the old Orono Fire Hall . Specific reference was made to the bell , fire helmets, fire nozzles, etc. I have completed an inspection of the Orono Fire Hall and there appears to be nothing of any significant historical value. I believe that when the Town of Newcastle acquired the Orono Fire Hall , the majority of these historical items had already been removed. The bell has been removed by members of this Depart- ment for relocation to the new Fire Hall . All existing fire fighting equipment and clothing is required and will be re- moved to the new Fire Hall . When the premises are vacated by,-this Department, I would suggest that a complete examination of the engineers report, which was' supplied by Totten, Sims and Hu bicki , as to the structural condition of this building, be ,serious con- sideration. ---T,he building has deteriorated to the point of being dangerous for FIRE PREVENTION BEWNS WITH YOU . . . .Continued Report No. FD 20-83 - 2 the public to be given free access to it. The basement stairs are completely broken off and the hose tower is in poor structural condition. Respectfully submitted, f. A dridge, ire Chief. A/sr November 22, 1983. I i
