There won't be much moving from the present fire station 3 to its new facility, Fieffer said. What's there is old and being replaced, from bedding to kitchen equipment. Only the apparatus, turnout gear and weight room equipment will make the trek east on Central Avenue to the new facility.

The new station features four bays in the 12,000-square-foot facility. The tower truck will be moved from station two on Old Porter Road, said Fieffer, to provide a more central location in the city.

The remaining bays will be filled with an engine, rescue unit and division chief's vehicle.

The only administrative office in the new station will be for the division or turn chief. Seven personnel will initially work out of the station, but there will be room for growth. The new house can hold 12 personnel.

Chief Lynwood Bunn said the new equipment includes instructions on how much oxygen to use for each size of mask as well instructions on how to perform CPR on dogs and cats.

Water rescue gear and rescue stabilization equipment were among the equipment received by Burkburnett VFD. “We are pleased to have the stabilization equipment that will be beneficial when responding to auto accidents,” Burkburnett Chief Rodney Ryalls said. “The equipment can be used to stabilize overturned vehicles, large machines and also has the capability to be used as a tripod for confined space rescue.”

The equipment is intended to make it safer for Burkburnett volunteer firefighters and victims. In Graham, the new slip-on provides a more functional truck than the previous unit they had.
