After giving a tour at the Cayuga County Fire Training Tower Wednesday night, Niel Rivenburgh, acting director of the county emergency services, asked county legislators to finance a new building.

The trailers are stored outdoors, and Rivenburgh said he spent hours with the help of the county’s buildings and groups staff trying to dig some of them out.
