Adams Fire District Exploring 'Bigger Picture' for Capital Needs

ADAMS, Mass. — As the Fire District is facing ongoing capital planning needs, officials are exploring the best path forward.

The Prudential Committee met Monday to discuss several agenda items, including "district expansion," though the topic received only a brief update.

Fire Chief David Lennon told the committee that officials had held a "first informal meeting" with several people, and the result was that they needed to gather more information.

In a follow-up with iBerkshires, Lennon said the agenda item was titled "district expansion," but it is more encompassing than that.

"We're having informal discussions with people to gauge interest before we move forward with a more concrete plan," he said.

Currently, Lennon is working with "single parties from various groups" to get information on what works for other communities in similar capital situations as the Adams Fire District, Lennon said.

The district is facing several capital challenges, including a decaying fire station and apparatus repairs, he said.
