The Anne Arundel County (MD) Fire Department conducted a grand opening for a new fire station in Pasadena, Station 10 Jacobsville, that is more than twice the size of the one it replaces, according to report published by WMAR2 News.

According to the report, the new station is 12,000 square feet in size and sits on the same site as the former station which was just 5,000 square feet. The former fire station was a converted elementary school that was later adapted to accommodate the police department as well, the report stated.

In addition to just having more space, the new station has training rooms and workout equipment and areas for personal space, the report said, noting it has space created to separate contaminated gear from living areas with ventilation to keep firefighters safe and health, the report said.

The Seneca (MO) Fire Department as dedicated a brand new fire station that been in the making for more than seven years, according to a report published by KOAM News Now.

At the grand opening this week, officials spoke of the work that has gone into making the project a reality since the land was donated for the new station back in 2015, according to the report that also said the ground breaking was held in 2018.

The project languished until the Eastern Shawnee Tribe, across the state line in Oklahoma and asked how much it would cost to finish the station and donated $273,000 to complete the project, according to the report.

Seneca will now have two stations in the community, one on either side of the train tracks that divides the community which means there will be no delay caused by trains that travel through every 15 to 20 minutes, according to the report.

A $672,000 engine has been delivered to the Eugene-Springfield (OR) Fire Department, according to a report published by The Register-Guard.

The new engine, built by Pierce, will replace a 1997 Pierce and will be assigned to Station 14, according to the report.

It is designed to improve the deployment of equipment and be easier to drive, according to the report, which also said it comes with ladder and hose storage and more room in the back cab for easier access.
