Renovation of a fire / police facility in Smithfield, Rhode Island. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a fire / police facility.

Renovations to Station #1 were identified by the Fire Department Study Implementation Task Force and were included in the final report by the Task Force. That final report was given to the Town Council for acceptance, and was accepted by such. This project is critical because of fire code and building code violations relative to the firefighters' living quarters as well as ADA violations in the administrative area. Additionally, we do not have any female restroom facilities in the station, and we have recently added two additional female members to the staff. This request has been vetted with the Task Force and the Town Council, and is a very important upgrade project. Included in this project will be electrical upgrades, insulation upgrades for energy efficiency, pointing of the walls outside of the station, and ceiling repairs in the apparatus bays. There are 2 significant areas of the apparatus bay ceilings that are damaged and falling down due to previous water damage. There have not been any upgrades to this station to this extent since its construction in 1939. The architects are reviewing the buildings to develop the budget figures.
