Vernon Fire Station Closed Because of Heavy Snow Load On Roof - CTnow

Vernon Fire Station Closed Because of Heavy Snow Load On Roof - CTnow


Crews were on the firehouse roof earlier this week trying to clear snow, but could not do it safely because of the roof's slant, said Mayor Jason L. McCoy.

The engineer examining the building is also concerned that removing snow in one section at a time could increase the load on the building and damage it, McCoy said. The engineer plans to do computer modeling to develop a snow removal plan, McCoy said.

In the meantime, the fire engines stored at Nye Street have been moved to other firehouses, he said.
