KILLINGTON — To show the town’s voters why a new fire station is in order, Killington Fire and Rescue is hosting tours of the department’s facilities every Tuesday evening in October, starting today.

“This question is really going to be up to the voters. This is a good opportunity for them to really understand the question that they will face in March,” said Town Manager Seth Webb.

Bringing the current facility up to code would cost in the environs of $2.5 million, according to findings by the town’s five-member Fire Department Facilities Review Committee, and still leave the department with a facility too small to accommodate its needs. Therefore the committee is on the hunt for a new site.

The tours go from 6 to 7 p.m. every Tuesday through Oct. 27. The fire station is located at 1973 Killington Road.
