6. Discussion and Background
The 2016 Facilities Condition Assessment Report identified the need to reroof Fire Stations No. 3 (FS 3) located at 1910 Shaffer Street. In addition, the report recommended repair of the existing hose tower at FS 3. FS 3 has an existing hose tower that was originally constructed to allow the drying out of fire hoses after their use; however, due to a change in hose materials, this is no longer practiced. The aging tower is no longer needed and will be demolished.
