Bed Bugs Impact North Richmond (VA) Fire Station

The Department of Fire and Emergency Services is temporarily relocating personnel at Fire Station 14 in Richmond's Northside due to bed bugs. Personnel will be moved down the road to Fire Station 15, located at 2614 1st Avenue.

According to Richmond Fire, this action is being taken out of an abundance of caution while Fire Administration and Public Works are addressing the issue of bed bugs within the building. Richmond Fire says personnel will operate out of Fire Station 15 until further notice.
