Subcontractor Sean Byrne, who lives in Canby, puts iron stock into place during seismic upgrading work at the Woodburn Fire District’s James Street station. The stock will hold u-bolts to tie the rebar to. The $310,000 project is geared to help ensure the station will remain standing during a major earthquake. The construction work, being handled by 2KG Contractors of Portland, is expected to be completed in early August.
