Mt. Pleasant Township Volunteer Fire Company Turns to Olympia Steel Buildings For New Firehall.
For years the building used to house the fire trucks and equipment of the Mt. Pleasant Township Volunteer Fire Company in Hickory, Pennsylvania was inadequate at best. The fire company serves a 35.6 square mile area and aids neighboring fire companies as needed, so a building large enough to suit their needs would be essential. After consulting with Olympia Steel Buildings they realized that rather than just remodeling and "making-do" with an update to their old existing facility, the smart decision would be to go with an Olympia pre-engineered steel building that would easily accommodate their needs. And because pre-engineered metal buildings go up fast with no surprises at the job site, are fire-resistant and virtually maintenance free with a 50-year warranty on the frames, they would save the Township time and money in the long run.
After much successful fundraising, the fire company accumulated the necessary capital and were able to begin designing, with the help of Olympia Steel, a pre-engineered steel building that would include five bays for trucks and equipment, a storage area and space for offices. Olympia steel buildings helped the firemen to design a metal building that not only would be large enough to accommodate all of their requirements but would be far superior and a great deal less costly to purchase and erect than a standard construction building of wood or concrete block.
The new fire station is spacious, open and totally functional. Fully insulated, this steel building has a clear span design providing room for rescue and firefighting vehicles and equipment for the entire squad with room to spare.
The residents of Hickory are proud of their new pre-engineered steel building and are happy to show it to visitors from other communities, especially during their annual “Apple Festival” that is held every year in October.
