Residents will decide the Wallkill Fire District’s fate on Tuesday as they vote on a new firehouse.

The proposed 17,500-square-foot site would be located across the street from the Wallkill Middle School and would require about $5.6 million in borrowed funds.

The five-bay fire house would offer more space for the fire department, who are in cramped quarters in the current firehouse behind Shawangunk town hall. The building has remained relatively unchanged since its construction in 1964 and is too small for the fire trucks and the member’s equipment.

Voting will be on March 26 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the current fire house, 18 Central Avenue.
