East Haven, CT— Construction is moving steadily forward on the Town of East Haven Fire Department – Foxon Company No. 3 Firehouse renovation and expansion, marking the first major upgrade to the facility since it was originally built in 1968.
Following a January groundbreaking, steel framing is now in place for the new addition, signaling a significant transformation of the N. High Street station. The project will expand apparatus space, improve training areas, and eliminate long-standing issues including overcrowding and off-site equipment storage. The project aims to provide firefighters with a safer and more functional environment to serve the community, and is being delivered through the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing program in partnership with BlueScope Construction and Pat Munger Construction Company, Inc.
Sourcewell allows municipalities to bypass the traditional multi-month public bidding process by using pre-qualified contractors, helping projects move forward more quickly while maintaining compliance and cost control.“ This is the third project we’ ve completed using this model,” said David A. DeMaio, president of Munger Construction.“ What we’ re seeing is that towns want a clear path from planning to construction without the delays that often come with traditional procurement.”
Munger Construction’ s role is supported by its experience working with BlueScope Construction and its use

of Varco Pruden pre-engineered metal building systems. This combination allows for a coordinated design-build approach where design, materials, and construction are aligned from the start. The approach can offer advantages for municipalities, including shorter timelines, predictable costs, and durable metal building systems suited for public safety and public works facilities.
Construction at the Foxon Firehouse is progressing on schedule. Future phases will focus on interior renovations, including updated living quarters and operational space.
