After
receiving much opposition to the plan proposed to construct a communications
tower at the Quogue Fire Department, the district’s fire commissioners proposed
a new plan last night. Members of the community believed that the tower would
be a health hazard to both the fire department and the residents.
To
appease the residents, the fire department scrapped the plan and proposed a new
plan to install a solid steel pole with straight antennas and a new electronic
siren behind the main firehouse. This monopole will reach a height of 100-feet.
The fire district plans on paying for this new antenna and siren with its
communication reserve funds and they plan to use about $185,000 to complete
this project.
