RE: Newcastle Village Works Shed
Dear Don:
On inspecting the metal works shed on Caroline Street West
in the village of Newcastle, in regards for use as a fire station.
The existing building is approximately 361X321 , 1152 sq. ft.
21IX611 wood framing, covered with metal sheeting, two overhead doors,
situated opposite the present arena, with a very narrow street.
The minimum recommended floor space for a single fire company is 3,650
sq. ft., a Class A fire pumper requires a floor displacement area
of 16 ft. X 34 ft. Other requirements are apparatus room, electrical
and heating rooms, toilet facilities, watch room, and office, training
and meeting room and possibly a small kitchen. It can readily be
seen that the existing building would be completely inadequate for
use as a fire station.
Trusting you will give this matter extensive planning and
research before proceeding with required upgraded fire emergency
services for the present and future area use. I remain.
Yours truly,
