Reading (PA) Fire Department Breaks Ground on $9M Station

The Reading (PA) Fire Department recently broke ground on a new $9 million station, reports Yahoo.

The new facility—to be built on the northeast corner of Ninth and Marion streets—will be more than three times the size of its predecessor, which was built in 1887 and lacks space, safety features, and many modern amenities, the report says.

The old station will be demolished and rebuilt into a playground. Plans for the new station were previously shelved multiple times over location disputes.

More info on the project can be found on Agency Construction Manager Boyle Construction’s website.

$2 Tickets for WA Fire Truck Pedal Car Raffle

The Edmonds-South Snohomish County (WA) Historical Society is holding its annual raffle for a fire truck pedal car, reports edmondsbeacon.com.

The raffle aims to find permanent storage for Edmonds’ 1938 Ford fire engine and 1925 REO fire engine, which was the goal of the Edmonds Fire Safety Foundation, according to the report.

The foundation disbanded in 2013, and the historical society made it its mission and each year raffles off a pedal car.

Tickets are $2 apiece and will be sold during the Edmonds Holiday Market, 10:30 a.m. -2:30 p.m. November 6, 13, 20, and Dec. 4, 11, 18 on the Museum Plaza.

East Jefferson (WA) Fire Rescue Breaks Ground on Station 1-2

East Jefferson (WA) Fire Rescue (EJFR) and the Marrowstone Island Foundation (MIF) have broken ground at Fire Station 1-2’s construction site.

On Thursday, members from EJFR and MIF gathered at the construction site on Flagler Rd to formally begin the improvement project. In addition to the current apparatus bays on-site, there will soon be quarters to house volunteer first responders, the department says on Facebook.

EJFR covers 68 square miles and responds to approximately 4,500 calls for emergency service annually. Three strategically placed fire stations are staffed with firefighters, EMTs, and paramedics 24/7, while three supplementary fire stations serve as additional coverage via volunteer service.

The new volunteer crew quarters will allow EJFR to staff Marrowstone Island’s area during peak hours/days.
