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.

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.
