We’re proud to have the Fairview Fire Department conducting fire and rescue training on-site this week at our vacant property in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. We’ll be constructing a new facility to open next fall, but before then, we offered local firefighters the rare opportunity to conduct live drills on our unique structures. 🧑🚒 “The Fairview Fire District wishes to express its gratitude to Store Space for this unique opportunity, emphasizing the importance of such real-world training scenarios in better preparing our firefighters for the myriad challenges they may face in the line of duty,” said Fairview Capt. Robert Ridley, MTO. Training continues through this week, then we’ll be gearing up for major construction and development! The location, at 24 Violet Ave, is the future home of a 122,886-square-foot climate-controlled facility, bringing premium storage solutions to the Poughkeepsie community (building rendering shown by SAAarchitects, Inc.) #selfstorage #poughkeepsie
