The Grand Junction (CO) Fire Department yesterday morning broke ground on its new Station 3, in the parking lot south of the current Fire Station 3, located at 582 25 ½ Road.

Station 3 is the department’s oldest station—it’s been around since 1975—and it’s also one of the busiest, the report says. So more room is needed at the station for future growth.

The new facility will include modern safety upgrades, including cancer-prevention features found in other stations.

The department partook in a land exchange with School District 51 to be able to build Station 3 in its new location—and Pomona Elementary School’s parking lot will be rebuilt in the station’s old location.

Four Hartford (CT) firefighters were hurt when a car slammed into a fire engine while crews were assisting State Police on Tuesday morning, according to a report published by WFSB News 3.

One firefighter was transported by ambulance the hospital for treatment and the three others sought treatment at a local hospital on their own, according to the report that also stated none of the injuries were life-threatening.

According to the report, the car lost control and hit the engine, which was positioned to deflect the car away from personnel on the scene, according to WFSB. Police and fire officials credit the blocking placement of the engine with saving the personnel on the scene of the previous incident.

There is no word whether the driver of the car, who was uninjured, will face charges, the television station reported.
