Westside (AL) Fire Station Gets Grand Opening

Westside (AL) Fire Station Gets Grand Opening

The ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday at the Enterprise Fire Department's new Westside station ended just as an alarm sounded in the facility. Though the alarm did not force any vehicles to rush out, it made it official: Enterprise's newest station is definitely up and running.

The facility at the corner of Aviation Boulevard and Boll Weevil Circle also was put on display for the public on Wednesday afternoon when an open house was scheduled. The 4,272-square-foot station can house four firefighters and two trucks, a news release from the city said.

The Westside Station actually was in use in September and received 37 calls, which Herring said was a good call volume. The station’s current primary district includes the area west of Main Street up to Highway 134 or Damascus Highway, and around Boll Weevil Circle to Highway 27 and down Geneva Highway. The Westside Station also backs up the Central and Northside stations, including on medical calls, Herring said.

New Santa Rosa (CA) Fire Station Destroyed in Firestorm

It was once the pride and joy of Santa Rosa-considered fireproof, but the North Bay firestorm was just too much for it to handle. We're talking about Santa Rosa Fire Station No. 5. It was restored in Aug. 2015, but now it has been leveled.

$7.2 Million Worth of Fire Trucks

A $7.2 million photo was taken Sept. 30 in the county administration parking lot. It's a group shot of the 18 new fire trucks now in station houses across Lancaster County. "It's an awesome thing to stand there and see all that apparatus side by side like that," said Darren Player, Lancaster County Fire Rescue director.

Purchased through a $7.2 million bond package in 2015, the new fire trucks replace about one third of the fleet at the county’s 18 volunteer stations and one truck at the Lancaster Fire Department. The bonds are issued in seven-year cycles, so that each vehicle is replaced about every 21 years.
