The Daphne (AL) Fire Department can’t move into a brand new station because the new truck that it is expected to house isn’t ready yet, according to a report published by NBC 15 News.

The $1 million station was completed in January and was expected to be up and running with nine newly hired firefighters, but the $300,000 engine needed to provide services is still being built, the television station reported.

The new engine has been completed, but its delivery has been delayed apparently because the COVID-19 shut down, the television station reported.

The newest date for the station opening is some time in September, according to the report.

The Culver-Union Township (IN) fire station has been flooding recently and city officials are looking for the cause, according to a report published by WYMR FM 98.3.

The radio station reported the station had about two inches of water in it last week and that water had not been an issue since the building was originally, according to the report.

City officials are believe something with drainage and it’s clogged or plugged and they are working to correct the situation.
