Lyle Fire Hall Remodel
In the spring of 2002 we started building an addition on to the Klickitat Country Fire Protection District #4 (Lyle) fire hall. In June we started remodeling the existing building. This is a community based project with the fire and medical department volunteers supplying much of the labor.
Chief Wayne laid out the rough floor plan and Peter designed the remodel and roof lines. In the above picture you can see the 4 original truck bays on the left (60'x36'), and two of the three new truck bays on the right (55'x55').
In the above picture you can see the back of the original building in the background and the new 6" concrete slab in the foreground. The original building was a 20'x24' single bay file hall. A meeting room and bathroom were added sometime later. Next a 40'x36' addition was added to bring the total to 4 bays. The building had three different shed roof lines, inadequate height for some trucks, and insufficient facilities for a growing department.
In the photo above, you can see the walls being extended on the orininal building (foreground) and the 6:12 pitch trusses and roof sturcture on the new building (background).
In the photo above, you can see the new 4:12 pitch trusses on the original building. The old metal siding the was removed from the back of the building is being temporarily reused on the front and sides -- in 2004 we will reside the original building.
The above picture shows the new Hardi-Plank siding on the addition.
T1-11 siding was used on two least public sides of the addition (south and east) to save money and time.
