Two Prince William fire and rescue stations are getting a makeover.
Station 17 in Montclair is getting its roof replaced, and Station 3 in Triangle is getting upgrades to its communication and technology equipment, according to Prince William County Department of Fire and Rescue’s Deputy Chief Tim Keen.
Both stations are part of the Dumfries-Triangle Volunteer Fire Department.
The projects will cost $376, 353, and are being funded through the county’s fire levy, according to Keen.
According to county records, the roof at Station 17 is over 20 years old and has numerous leaks causing damage to the station’s interior including the apparatus bays.  The cost for the roof replacement project is $219,580, stated Keen.
Station 3 is receiving funds to improve communication and information technology equipment on-site, stated Keen.
Keen stated that the project at Station 3 will be upgrading the wiring for their alert system, and replacing the station’s phone system. The cost for these upgrades total $158, 726, stated Keen.
Potomac Local has reached for more information on the timeline of the projects, to Dumfries Volunteer Chief Miles Young, who did not return a request for comment.
