	Key 2008 Fire District Stories Fire Commissioner Resigns Fire District to Sell Land in Village New Village Firehouse On Hold Lansing Voters Elect Fire Commissioners

News in the Lansing Fire District was as much about what didn't happen as what did.  A new fire station in the Village of Lansing was put on hold, Fire Commissioner Kimberly Spencer resigned less than two years into her term, and while an addition to Central Station continues in the planning stage, no ground was broken.

Yet the things that matter and go largely unsung, were taken care of as the volunteers responded to a record number of emergency calls.  In the middle of all that the department converted to Tompkins County's new emergency response system.  And of course they took some time off to host the annual Fire Department Carnival.




By the end of the year Chairman of the Fire Commissioner Robert Wagner had been elected for a third term, and Treasurer George Gesslein for a second.  Michael Day was elected to finish the last three years of Spencer's term.
