The Wallum Lake Fire Department, located in Burrillville, provides fire protection, emergency response services, and responds to medical emergencies in the Burrillville community, including the Zambarano Unit of the Eleanor Slater Hospital. The Eleanor Slater Hospital/Zambarano Unit serves as a model for long-term care facilities and provides outstanding healthcare services to Rhode Islanders in need. The Wallum Lake Fire Station is in critical need of rebuilding to replace the deteriorating existing structure in order to continue providing these essential services. Therefore, this resolution appropriates $5,000,000 to the Eleanor Slater Hospital, Zambarano Unit for the purpose of rebuilding the fire station on Wallum Lake.
