FALLS VILLAGE — Andrea Downs, the vice president of the Falls Village Volunteer Fire Department, said she recently came across the minutes of a meeting at which it was decided to go ahead with building a new firehouse.
That meeting was held in April 1996.
“It only took 21 years!”
Downs was speaking at the dedication of the new Emergency Services Center on Route 7 on Sunday, Sept. 10.
Fire Chief Tim Downs said, “We finally have all our equipment in one building.”
