Bath may gain a modern central fire station with federal defense aid. The Water street station, built in 1853, suffers dampness and slow responses due to crowded streets and a rail crossing. Proposed sites include the Swett lot at Summer and Washington, or Oliver lot at Lincoln and Center streets, with plans to keep engines at the North and South Ends. Chief Engineer Richard Frates notes dispersing equipment in war improves readiness. No action yet, but officials consider seeking government aid.
