It enables firefighters to locate the hottest fire spot in a smoke-filled building. New fire hall in ’08 The Woodruff Fire Department moved into its new fire hall on Highway 47 in 2008, part of a $2.5 million project that involved construction of a town hall/police station and a separate town shop/fire station. The complex is located at 1418 Highway 47, about six blocks east of the intersection with Highway 51 in downtown Woodruff. Timmons said the department went from a building that offered four bays for five trucks to a 4,480-square-foot facility that has eight larger bays for its growing fleet of rescue equipment. “Now we’ve got six doors and a lot more room for moving around equipment. We built this to handle the department’s needs way into the future,” he said. Timmons said the station features an automatic exhaust-handling ventilation system that kicks in “at the slightest hint of fumes.” The station also has a meeting room and full shower facilities. ? ?????????????????)????????????????????????????????)?????????????????????????????????????????????????????)Q?????????????)Q????????????????????????)???????????????????????????????)5????Q?????????????????????????????????????]?????????)??????????????????!????????????????e??????????????]?????????)?????????!??????????????????????)????????$????????????????????????????????????????$??????????????????????????9H?????????????)?????????????!?????????????????)e????????????????????????????)9??????????A??????? ?????????!??????????????????????????????$????????????????????????????)??????????????????????????????????????????????)Y???????????????????????)???????????????]?????????????????????????????????????????????????????!??????????????)]??????????????????????????)9????M??????????Y???????M??????)??????????????????????????????I%P)??????????9H??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????)??????????)I??????-???????????????????????????????????????]?????????)?????????????????!???????????????]??????????????????????)]?????????????????!?????????????)???????????????????$??????????????????????????????????????????)???????????????????????????????)??????9H??????????????????????)??????????????()]???????????????????5????????????????A??????Q???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????()1???????????????????????)???????????????]???????????????????????????!???????????)???????!???????????????]??????????)????????!?????????????????????)???????????$????????????????????????9H?????????????????????????????????????????????????????)????????????????????????)???????????????]???????????????????????????!????????????)???]?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????)????????$????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????)M???Q?????????????????????????????????????]?????????)???????????????????????????)???????????????????????!??????????????????Y?????Q??????????????????????????????????????????????)9H????????????????????????????????????????????????????)9%5L??????????????????????????)???????????
