Barren Springs 6 doors, 6 controllers

Max Meadows 6 doors
Speedwell 5 doors

Some controllers and one door have been replaced in that time, and all stations are substantially identical in exterior and door construction. All fire station door openings are identical at approximately 14 feet high by 14 feet wide. EMS door is 14’ high by 12 feet wide.

Prospective respondents may visit the Lead Mines Station or Max Meadows Fire Department weekdays between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. to review current door construction.
