A similar situation shut down the station, the city’s oldest, less than two years ago.  

“I feel pretty comfortable with the outcome now, more so than before,” said Jason Burns, president of the Fall River Firefighters Union.

What’s different this time around, said Burns, is that the city installed two dehumidifiers in the basement where most the mold was detected, and on the surfaces of the first floor, where the apparatus is located.

A hazmat team is trying to evaluate the package. No injuries have been reported at this time.  

We’re working to get more information.
