The new station will be located at 8502 North Jasman Road near the city's solid waste department and the landfill. This is the first fire station on the north side of town.

The $1.4 million facility is the fifth location for the Edinburg Fire Department. It is being constructed with funds set aside for this project.

Across the entire fleet, fire trucks marked active in pumpers, boosters, ladders and towers categories have an average age of 8.7 years.

But the oldest third of the Houston Fire Department’s active fire trucks, including pumpers, boosters, ladders and tower trucks, average 14.1 years old, according to data provided by the Houston Fire Department.

Tiverton police Capt. Patrick Jones said Borges, who was still in the intensive care unit Tuesday at Rhode Island Hospital, has a “significant history” of motor vehicle offenses, including a 2014 arrest in Massachusetts for operating under the influence of alcohol. Jones said investigators will be seeking to obtain Borges’ medical records from the hospital in order to determine if she was impaired while driving.

Jones also said the Tiverton Police Department will also be stepping up patrols this summer to deter impaired driving. In the past two weeks, there have been at least three suspected drunken driving incidents in Tiverton, including an April 18 crash on Route 24 where a 41-year-old Fall River woman suffered serious injuries after crashing into a guardrail near the Fish Road exit.

While police and fire crews continued to work that crash scene at about 9:30 p.m., a minivan driven by a 35-year-old man struck a squad car and fire truck. The driver of the minivan was transported to a local hospital, police said; the extent of his injuries was not immediately known.
