As the town works on a fix, firefighters say they're frustrated and nervous about living with mold that continues to grow in the Loring Drive Fire Headquarters.

Mold that had been eliminated several years ago has come back because of humidity at the downtown station built in 1996, said Capital Buildings Project Manager Doug Goddard.

The town has hired air quality consultants and officials yesterday said they have a plan to permanently eliminate the health hazard.

"We've been working on the problem since I got here," said Chief Gary Daugherty, who started on the job last January and works in the building. He said the poor air quality poses no immediate safety concern.

"Everybody's working together to get it squared away," he said.

Goddard said the building's design and construction may be to blame for problems with the heating, ventilation and cooling system.
