Notes
COLMONELL’S NEW FIRE STATION
Colmonell’s new fire station, which is to be erected on part of the playpark, is
to cost in the region of £1300, members of the South Western Fire Area Joint
Committee were told at their meeting in Ayr on Friday.
The cost of the new prefabricated building is to be over £550 and other work
such as removing hedges and the laying of drains is to cost approximately £745.
(The Ayrshire Post, July 20, 1956. Page 9)
Garage, accomodation was increased with provision of Portakabin in 1995.
A new garage was built and occupied in March 2002.
When the new appliance room was being built the appliance and tunics were kept
in a commercial garage at Clachanton Farm, Colmonell and the office was still in
Kirkhill Crescent. On receipt of a call out the first man at the farm had to use
the appliance radio to contact M2GX to get the details of the incident. No
appliances were allowed to stand by at Colmonell during this time. (12 weeks
from November 2001 to January 2002)
