FISHERS, Ind.- A Fishers firehouse is out of use until Saturday after officials found mold growing in the building's walls. Early this week, officials found mold was growing inside the walls of one of the rooms where firefighters sleep at Station 392, located at 116th St. and Brook School Rd.
As of Thursday afternoon, mitigation of the mold in the sleeping quarters of the firehouse is near completion. Saturday morning, firefighters and an engine will return to the station and will be capable of responding to emergency runs from Station 92.
Officials admit, while temporary, the change could impact emergency response times for some residents.
“There is going to be a small impact to the response time,” said Mehling, “we estimate somewhere around two minutes difference is what it could be.”
Work in the bunkroom will continue for a few more days to replace the damaged walls and air monitoring will continue.
