Pottawatomie County officials took the first step Monday toward a possible remodel or replacement of the Emmett Fire Station.
Fire Chief Jared Barnes presented a scope of work needing to be done on the building which is pretty extensive. He says a building inspector has determined that the bones of the building are still workable with a potential remodel.
“One thing he did mention was the walls. We haven’t looked at the walls but do know that on one south wall we did have some termite damage. The building’s got quite a bit of age and definitely needs something done,” he said.
