Ankeny (IA) Breaks Ground on New Fire Station

Posted: Jul 19, 2017

Ankeny (IA) Breaks Ground on New Fire Station

The city of Ankeny is the fastest growing city in the Midwest and the 14th fastest growing city in the United States, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. In 2016 the fire department responded to 4,158 calls, over a 50 percent increase since 2009.

"We need a new station in north Ankeny because of explosive growth. We’ve had a lot of people move into Ankeny over the past ten years. We are going to get a brand new station that looks just like this one with a brand new ambulance, brand new engine and a bunch of brand new firefighters,” Ankeny Fire Chief Jim Clack said.

Clack said the new station will be modeled after Station 2 which was built about nine years ago.

He said their stations take care of everything from a hazardous spill to fires.

Broken Arrow (OK) Fire Department Adds Seventh Ambulance

Starting on Wednesday, July 19, the Broken Arrow Fire Department announced a seventh ambulance will be put to use. According to the BAFD, the new ambulance will be housed at Fire Station 7, located at Elm Place and Edgewater Street.

BAFD said the seventh ambulance will help reduce their response times and that 75 percent of calls are medical in nature, so a reduction in response times are needed.

"We strive to provide the highest level of customer service to our citizens, and adding another ambulance with our highly trained and dedicated firefighter/paramedics will further enhance our mission," said Fire Chief Jeremy Moore. "The seventh ambulance will provide a complete EMS coverage to the entire city and our cross-trained personnel will also be utilized for fire calls as needed."

Plans Drawn Up for Police and Fire Service to Share Stations in Leicester (UK)

Emergency services bosses are drawing up plans for a major overhaul of police and fire stations in Leicester which could see them sharing premises to save money. Senior officers from both 999 services are looking at proposals to work out of the same buildings in move that could save hundreds of thousands of pounds.

In 2015 there was a public outcry when the fire service proposed to close Central Fire Station and re-deploy its engines and aerial ladder platform to other stations outside the city centre.

Those plans were dropped after 13,000 people signed a petition concerned that the city centre was being stripped of a potentially life-saving emergency service.

Naked Woman Found on Battle Creek (MI) Fire Apparatus

Battle Creek police are trying to determine how a naked woman ended up on a fire truck parked in the fire station. It happened at Battle Creek Fire Station No. 6, located at 2401 Capital Ave. SW, according to the Battle Creek Fire Department.

The agency confirmed crews found the naked woman on a fire truck when they woke up around 6 a.m. Wednesday. Her condition is unclear.
