This building, called the "The Battalion Chief" is what the Lake Placid Fire Department plans to build to become a training ground for area firefighters.
It is a two-and-a-half-story training tower with four working deck levels. Its design resembles a residence with its double-door entrance, two floors with L-shaped stairs, usable attic, gabled shutters, and burn room annex (garage). The burn room offers two exits, one to the interior of the tower and the other to the exterior.
We should break ground on this project in May of 2005. The current training facility committee consists of Bill Moore, Jeff Jacques, Brad Jaques, Jack Favro, and Steve Abbott. It will be permanently located behind the Lake Placid Fire house. Scheduled to also be built is a concrete pad for vehicle extrication training.
