Limerick Fire Company Moves Into New $3.5M Facility

LIMERICK >> Finishing touches on the new $3.5 million home of the Limerick Fire Company were completed recently. While a ribbon cutting ceremony for the new facility won't take place for another few months, move-in day for the fire and ambulance crews who will call the new building home took place on Sunday.

The biggest difference for the public other than the exterior will be the absence of a hall to rent. Instead, the new facility features training and study rooms for the more than 70 firefighters to meet mandated training certifications, equipment and radio rooms and administrative offices. Additionally as well as space for members to sleep while staffing the station during weather events and other emergencies. It also has accommodations to maintain emergency medical services staging and a space to support the township emergency operations center.

Rockford Fire Department Stations in Need of Repair, Rebuild

ROCKFORD, Ill. (WIFR) -- They put their lives on the line everyday for our community, sometimes spending more time at the fire stations than their own homes. Some of these stations are seeing the wear and tear from decades of use. "We've cleaned the floors and the toilet and everything it's just old.

From the toilets to the showers to the roof and even the living quarters Rockford fire station 10 is just one of the many stations in need of some serious repairs.

"All of our stations were built prior to 1989 except for station 3 which was built 2016," says Rockford Fire Chief Derek Bergsten.

Built in 1957 station 10 is nearly six decades old. Lt. Kathleen Macias says her crew makes due with what they have.

"I think they would rather have a little bit more privacy you know your own space to do your down time. We stay here for 24 hours it's our second home," says Lt. Macias.
