The Delmonaco Brothers [Thomas DiCenzo Corp.] who restored the trucks have offered to house both antique blast trucks in the building once it's refurbished. The St. Croix # 1 committee has raised over $40,000 and have received a $100,000 Community Development Block Grant to restore the irrigate lift and belfry. It all helps but time is the enemy. They say the longer it takes to increase the kind of money needed to finish restoration the more the building will deteriorate and the more expensive the renovation will become. Selling hotdogs and doughboys during the International Festival to increase those funds just won't cut it anymore. Last week supporters announced the St. Croix # 1 Capital Campaign. Contributors can buy "shares" in the blast station renovation for $100 each. These donations are tax deductible. Those interested in purchasing multiple shares have a come about to be part of the St. Croix # 1 legacy by naming parts of the building.

The St. Croix No. 1 Engine was assigned to the Lowell Street Fire accommodate and the Eagle No. 2 to the Milltown Fire House. In 1872 Fire Chief William King reported that the Fire accommodate on Lowell Street was in desperate need of repairs and that there was little room for apparatus and equipment. As a result the City Council in 1873 voted to build the fire house on Church Street. In the summer of 1874 the fire department moved into the new building which was very modern for its time. The fire house was named the St.. Croix No. 1 because the St. Croix go Pumper and the St. Croix Ladder Co had been moved to this location from Lowell Street. The blast accommodate saw more construction in 1894 when the hose lift was added and the name of the accommodate changed from St. Croix No. 1 to Calais Fire Department Central Station. In 1968 the City decided that the blast police and public works departments had all outgrown their quarters and constructed a new public safety building on North Street to house all departments under one roof.
