Volunteer firefighter walkout in Colorado fire district may end with hiring of new chief

Relief could be in sight for about 2,500 property owners in southern Teller County, who since mid April have been without the services of their taxpayer-funded fire protection district. An impasse that started last year between volunteer firefighters and the board of the Four Mile Fire Protection District has reached a partial resolution, as the board hired a new fire chief Tuesday.

Grain Rescue Equipment Gifted to Spiceland (IN) Fire Department

Grain Rescue Equipment Gifted to Spiceland (IN) Fire Department

Harvest Land has donated a grain rescue tube to the Spiceland Fire Department to fill a gap that could have left farmers in dangerous need.

The Harvest Land Risk management department determined that the equipment was needed in southern Henry and northern Rush counties to help keep their farmers and community safe. If a farmer was trapped in a grain bin or wagon, a grain rescue tube was more than 15 miles away. The donation went to the Spiceland Fire Department to fill that gap.

Harvest Land lost two customers due to grain entrapment in 2016. The company is committed to not only the safety of employees but to the safety of their farmer-members.

Inside Congers (NY) Fire Department's New $9.3M Firehouse

The future of the more than century-old Congers Fire Department can be seen along Route 9W. Monday was one of the busiest construction days at the site of the department's new $9.3 million firehouse, said 46-year firefighter Chris Wohl.

The nearly 20,400-square-foot firehouse located at the intersection of the state highway and Dr. Davies Road will be the 121-year-old department’s third building.

The station will have a four-door garage that will face northbound Route 9W, and an additional three doors that will be accessible through a rear entrance from Dr. Davies Drive.

Asheville (NC) Fire Station to be Named After Fallen Firefighter

Plans are in the works to rename an Asheville fire station. Fire Station 9, on Fairview Road, would be renamed in honor of Grady Wilson, Sr. Wilson is one of seven firefighters with the City of Asheville who was killed in the line of duty.

Chief Burnette says this would be the fourth fire station named after a fallen firefighter in the city, and Wilson's family asked for this particular station.

"The family has a connection to the Oakley community," Burnette said. "They have a connection to that area and that firehouse. Since old Station 3 where he was working on that tragic day where he died was no longer available, they felt Station 9 would be a good place to honor Grady Wilson."
