The Fire Department was built in 1908. It is a brick and mortar building that has many deteriorating windows that need replaced. Despite this and other previous work on the windows the building suffers severe air infiltration around and through the wood-framed windows, including penetration by heat, cold and dirt/dust. The goals of this project are to reduce the drafts and dust infiltration; to limit rain penetration that occurs during high-intensity rainstorms; and to improve the effectiveness of heating and cooling systems by reducing heat and cold exchange with the outdoors.
