Danville Fire Station in Need of New Downtown Building

The Danville Fire station on Main Street is in need of a new building. The building is 50 years old, and beginning to show signs of several structural and design problems. "It's still I say safe, we've bolstered it up. But in short time- as engineers have proved our thoughts, it needs to be replaced," Chief Ken Pflug said.

Chief Pflug says the fire department started realizing there were some issues with the building when they started to do some kitchen renovations and they pulled the wall off and that’s when they saw there was a separation between the wall and the floor.

“You can see these poles. This is holding up the deteriorated lentil we put the gray metal back up there but that holds that wall in place. Unfortunately it’s not holding it from tilting out,” Chief Pflug said as he described the building issues to WKYT News Reporter Monique Blair.

Inside the garage, a portion of the cement floor shows several signs of cracking. Because of that, Chief Pflug put down yellow tape. He says that portion of the floor has potential to cave into the basement that is below.

The only thing was: neither parent knew what color the water would be.

Tiffany’s sister and Brandon’s co-worker were the only ones that knew the gender of the baby. A tough secret to keep, but totally worth it to see the parent’s reactions.

“I was 95 percent sure it was a boy,” Tiffany said. “I just knew that water was going to come out blue.”

Lowell's Second Fire Station Plans Approved

LOWELL -- Plans for the city's second fire station passed through the Planning Commission's development process and work can now get started. The station will be built on 100 acres at the northwest corner of Bellview Road and Zion Church Road, which is planned to become the Kathleen Johnson Memorial Park.

The latest version of plans include a concrete exit onto Bellview Road as the commission requested. Gatling said plans for the expansion of Bellview into a four-lane street were the reason project engineers previously called for asphalt. It would be an easier and less expensive way to provide a drive knowing it would eventually have to be removed and replaced, Gatling said.
