Fire District wins backing for variances

Department turning Gore Road facility into vehicle repair center

The Morris Fire Protection District was granted two variances from the Zoning Board of Appeals for its new building, which will be used as a repair center for district vehicles.

The ZBA met Wednesday and approved a side-yard variance and a lot width variance for a Manufacturing-1 zone.

The fire district purchased the old truck testing facility on Gore Road. It will be used for the district's repair center to work on its vehicles and, in the distant future, to add a training structure on the property, said Chief Tracey Steffes.
