Wellfleet Fire & Rescue
Recognizing the need for a modern Fire and Rescue facility, the Town of Wellfleet purchased property in 2006 and approved funding to move forward with building the new structure. Chief Dan Silverman, a former builder with a keen eye for excellence in construction, took a leadership role and championed plans to build a superior facility that would serve taxpayers 50 years into the future. Forming a team of like minded individuals, which included Tom Ferreira and Adam Levinson from the station, George Moe and Hugh Guilderson of the Town Building and Need Assessment Committee, the first task was to conceptualize a functional facility that was highly energy efficient with a comfortable and inviting work atmosphere.
Cape Light Compact was engaged in the early planning stages to provide a custom report detailing savings opportunities through energy efficient upgrades and incentive funding for implementing recommended measures.
In March of 2009, the facility was occupied and meeting the needs of the community. The result of this collective effort produced one of the most energy efficient Fire and Rescue stations in the region with room to grow with the town. The building and grounds are easy to maintain and use the latest “green” technology to enhance the essential business of Chief Silverman and his staff – to serve and protect.
Cape Light Compact worked with the Wellfleet Fire Department to suggest the use of more energy efficient ballasts and bulbs throughout our new fire station. Not only did this let us qualify for a nice incentive, but it will lower the energy costs for the Town over the life of the building and reduce our impact on the environment. The Compact was very helpful to us as we looked for ways to minimize the operating costs and environmental effects of our new station.
