New Floor for HMW Station 1 Station 1, on Lake Road in Hamlin is the historic home of the Hamlin Fire Department. The floor in the truck bay was original to the building which was built in 1979 and was showing its age. After many years of research Commissioner Tom Sercu took the lead and guided the replacement project to a successful conclusion. The original cement floor was replaced with a combination epoxy resin mixture. The process took several weeks to complete because th...e new floor required several weeks to cure before allowing the trucks back on them. During this long process one engine was kept in Station 1, while the other trucks normally there were parked at Stations 2 and 3. Over the next few weeks all the equipment and trucks will be returned to Station 1.
