Sycamore Township dedicated its NEW North Firehouse and Park on August 22, 2009. CLICK HERE to view pictures of the events.
The Firehouse and community room which are housed in one large building will be powered using solar panels. The building itself has become LEED certified. (Leadership in Energy and Enviornmental Design). It is the only firestation east of the Rocky Mountains that have such a distinction. The location of the solar panels is 98% efficient for sun exposure. On sunny days that produce more energy than is used the energy goes back to the electric grid which turns back the meter, saving money for days when the solar energy is not as strong. Geothermal heating, which picks up the tempature of the earth, will also be used to keep a more consistent tempature in the building. The new station replaces the current north station on Solzman Road. The new station will have four (4) bay areas for the trucks and more amenities and supplies that the old station was unable to accomodate.
