Fundraiser To Help Repair Damage To Refugio'S Volunteer Fire Station

Fire Chief Don Pullin showed 3News on Thursday some of the damage that Hurricane Harvey did to the fire station.

"I would say 100-percent damage. We have put two tarps on the roof. It's still leaking in. We're getting water in on the apparatus. There's no place in town that we can move the apparatus to," Pullin said.

He and his volunteers are still fighting fires, but doing it out of a place he feels is unsafe and should be replaced.

"If you just put a building up, the next hurricane, 3 or 4 or 5, we're going to have the same problems," Pullin said. "We can't leave personnel down here unless we can prove it's hurricane safe."
