1 of 4Islanders gathered inside the Edgartown fire station on Wednesday to say goodbye to a venerable, old building that has served as a second home to the town’s firefighters and first responders for decades. At an Edgartown special town meeting in December, Edgartown voters approved an additional $2.5 million of funding for the project. I know the select board, the fire station building committee, and a lot of different input came into designing this one singular building that fits the Edgartown brand,” said Hagerty. “This is what towns do, the fundamental charge of towns: building fire stations, buying police cars, educating children. “It has been utilized to the best of its ability.”Looking ahead, the focus for Edgartown firefighters is to maintain operations from temporary facilities.
