  13. Our Challenge: An Overview • The Central Islip Fire Department , formed in 1906, has served the community well for over 100 years. But much of the infrastructure in various facilities has exceeded its useful life. Upgrades to their existing facilities is a critical priority and necessity. • Over the past year, the Central Islip Fire District has researched its options for upgrading, replacing, or adding to their existing facilities. • Headquarters, Station 2, Station 3 –various building components are beyond their useful life • New Training Building – additional training for skills and tactics • New Sub-Station – additional support and faster response time for the growing community in the area by the Former NYIT Campus.

Creating “Green” Projects • In all the proposed projects it is intended that sustainability is implemented. • Use of construction materials or methodologies that create greater efficiencies, are environmentally friendly and promote sustainability. • Original buildings will be maintained, or modestly disturbed eliminating or reducing unnecessary waste. • For any new construction we will be incorporating high efficiency equipment and systems to minimize long term costs and maintenance. • Will incorporate the use of local and regional renewable/recycled materials throughout the finishes to minimize VOC’s and other contaminants that negatively impact the environment and building occupants. • We believe this is a responsible position to adopt as part of our stewardship of an important community resource.
