VIDEO: Milford is growing fast, and city leaders say some areas are harder for emergency crews to reach. To address that, the Carlisle Fire Company plans to open a new substation to shorten response times. As the city expands — especially in the southeast section — Mayor Todd Culotta says faster emergency response is becoming increasingly important. “That southeast part of town is our master plan where we’ve designated a lot of the residential growth.” Currently, the Carlisle Fire Company operates from its main station on Front Street, which Culotta says is no longer as accessible to many of the new neighborhoods. “Where the fire station currently is, it’s not necessarily accessible to the new growth we see, particularly in the southeast part of town.” That is why the Carlisle Fire Company is preparing to use an existing building on Cedar Beach Road as a substation by early 2026.
