Fired Spokane Valley firefighter’s religious email case will be heard by State Supreme Court

A Spokane Valley firefighter trying to get his job back since he was fired in 2012 will argue his case against the Spokane Valley Fire Department before the Washington State Supreme Court later this year. Capt. Jon Sprague said he’s not surprised that the Supreme Court decided to review his case. “I’ve known all along that we’ve had a solid case,” he said.

Vinton County (OH) to Receive $425K Safety Grant for New Fire Equipment

Vinton County (OH) to Receive $425K Safety Grant for New Fire Equipment

Local fire departments will soon receive new safety equipment thanks to a $425,000 state grant headed the county's way.

The funds will pay for more than 60 new pieces of breathing apparatuses. Existing equipment is nearing the end of its shelf life and is generally too expensive to replace in bulk. This modern equipment will be lighter to carry and will benefit fire departments in McArthur, Hamden, Zaleski, Wilkesville and Harrison Twp.

Yonkers (NY) Working on $10 Million Downtown Firehouse

A replacement for the downtown Yonkers firehouse condemned in 2015 may rise across the street from the now-abandoned building.

City officials are working on a $10 million plan to build a new firehouse on a grassy area at the intersection Palisade Avenue and Elm and New School streets.

Mayor Mike Spano said he's including money for the new firehouse in his 2017-18 budget that he is expected to present in April. He called the existing former Fire Station 1 and fire headquarters at 5-7 New School St. "economically beyond repair."

Daisy Mountain (AZ) Fire Station Demolished Due to Structural Problems

Demolition crews went to work Thursday bulldozing a fire station in the north Valley. But a new, sturdier and more well-built station will take its place.

The station was built in 2001. Unfortunately, there was some faulty construction issues and structural problems.

According to Daisy Mountain Fire Department, "The station was built by a former fire Chief (literally) and there was no warranty or contractor that could be held responsible for the faulty construction. The station was having structural problems due to soil compaction prior to construction. The district did conduct a feasibility study to determine whether it would be more cost effective to repair the station or rebuild. Due to the extensive problems with the building it was determined that it would be more cost effective to rebuild."
