Holland (TX) VFD Receives $100,000 Grant

Holland (TX) VFD Receives $100,000 Grant

The Holland Volunteer Fire Department will be getting a new brush truck thanks to a significant grant. HVFD has been awarded $100,000 through the Texas A&M Forest Service Rural Volunteer Fire Department Assistance Program. Chief Coleman Benner said they applied for the funds to purchase a new brush truck.

The department currently has five fire vehicles, and one of their current brush trucks from the year 2000 was getting old and needed to be replaced sooner, rather than later.

Displaced Orange County Fire Authority and Buena Park Firefighters Move to Temporary Fire Station

Not unlike students returning to school this month for the first day of class, Orange County Fire Authority and Buena Park firefighters returned to school Monday, Aug. 14.

More than seven months after a fire burned down the city’s 50-year-old Station 61, crews displaced by the fire moved into Walter Knott Elementary, a Centralia School District site turned temporary fire station.

About 40 fire personnel will work out of Walter Knott, which closed as a school in 2010, but has since reopened as an education center.

Raleigh (NC) Fire Station Must Move for Proposed High-Speed Rail

A fire station that serves northeast Raleigh must move to make way for a proposed high-speed rail line. Fire Station No. 22 could relocate from its current spot on Durant Road to 1.3 acres of city-owned property at 10050 Durant Road near Abbotts Creek Park. The site is about a mile away.

Raleigh staff on Tuesday recommended budgeting $9 million to build a new station. The City Council is expected to vote on the issue Sept. 5.

A new station would be much larger than the existing facility, which opened in 1998 and is 5,000 square feet. The new station would be 14,000 square feet and two stories.
