Rhinelander fire department set for expansion
The Rhinelander Fire Department is headed for a complete makeover. Chief Terry William’s plan to introduce ambulance service to the city included the renovation and expansion of the department’s existing building to accommodate new vehicles, facility requirements and equipment. On Monday evening the city’s Finance, Wages and Salary Committee listened to Williams as he broke down the details of the expansion project. According to estimates provided by Stodola-Maas Construction Inc., the project’s total cost should be just over $600,000 for both the design and construction phases. Williams submitted architectural drawings of the expansion/renovation and explained each part of the project in detail to the committee members. The committee could have voted to approve the estimates and move the project forward, but instead made a motion to table the issue at the recommendation of City Attorney Phil Parkinson.
