Fire Station Construction Starting Soon for Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport

Starting in April, a new fire station will be built at Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport in Saba, reports The Daily Herald.

The new fire station will enable Saba’s firefighters to carry out their work more effectively. The current station at the airport is outdated and has limited facilities.

The fire station will also include two garages that will accommodate two fire engines, sports facilities, a staff canteen, various work and conference rooms and sufficient facilities to prepare and carry out exercises.

The new fire station is expected to be ready in 2022. The fire station’s construction has also been designed in such a way that it can withstand category-five hurricanes.

Canton Township (MI) Open New $6.5 Million Fire Station

According to a report from Hometown Life, the Canton Township (MI) Fire Department’s (CTFD’s) new station on Warren Road near the intersection with Haggerty Road features quick-acting bay doors courtesy of local business International Door, which are a favorite feature of CTFD Chief Christopher Stoecklein.

Stoecklein also praised the station’s extra space of the new $6.5 million station such as the private bedrooms, (which means no locker rooms) as well as the decontamination and alerting features.

Planning for the station began several years ago, and construction took place in the past few. A ladder truck, an engine, two ambulances, and six firefighters will officially start moving through the station next week. The crew will be responsible for about nine square miles of coverage, according to Stoecklein.
