LATROBE, Pa. — Latrobe has five fire stations within city limits but if leaders follow the recommendations of a new study, they could be down to three.
“What we’re looking at is ‘Ok, what are we going to do to consolidate?’ It’s very preliminary whether that be one station or two stations,” said City Manager Michael Gray. “We want to be a really good partner with the fire companies here,” he said.
The study recommended closing Free Will Hose Company No. 3 and Free Service Unit No. 6. The city owns all five buildings and pays for the day-to-day operations.
“Trying to consolidate to sell off the assets and give that money back to the fire departments whether that be in the sale of the building or equipment which they own, we definitely want to give that money back,” Gray said.
He reassured people living there that they wouldn’t feel an impact if the city goes this route.
