Though firefighters may be dismayed at the lengthy history of mold in their Framingham headquarters, Fire Chief Gary Daugherty said the source of the problem wasn’t discovered until just recently.

“The position is: yes, there’s a problem but we hope we’re on the right track and we think we have the right cadre of people together,” said Daugherty. He said the problem lies in the HVAC system, which isn’t properly removing moisture from the outside air that’s being sucked into the building.

The head of the local firefighters’ union, Peter DeVito, said he understands why people are frustrated—firefighters spend two 24-hour shifts within an eight day cycle, and the word “mold” conjures scary thoughts of health risks and bad air quality.
