pictured ABOVE is the new area that was added onto the west side of the Woonsocket Fire Hall. It is much needed space for equipment and new trucks.

On Sunday, June 12, the Woonsocket Volunteer Fire Department held an open house at the Fire Hall in Woonsocket, allowing residents to visit and tour the building to show off its new addition that almost doubled the space that the building previously had. The open house consisted of a pork loin and hot dog feed, a bouncy house and an obstacle course. Approximately 180 people attended the event.

The original fire hall building was finished in September 1976. On Sept. 9, 2020, the fire hall accepted bids for the new addition. Construction on the addition began the first week of November of 2020 and was completed mid-June of 2021. The addition added 3,000 square feet and brought the total area of the fire hall to 6,144 square feet.

The house located on the corner of Third Avenue and Fifth Street in Woonsocket was recently burned. The house was the home of Jennifer Gibson and the location of her murder in August of 2016. No one had lived in the home since that time. According to the Woonsocket Volunteer Fire Department, they had originally obtained the house for training purposes, but the weather conditions had prevented them from being able to burn the house when they planned. Sunday’s weather conditions were ideal for what they originally planned to do to the home, so the crew from the Town and Country Fire District in Woonsocket took advantage of the opportunity to finish the job they started with training earlier this year.
