Tractor-Trailer Pulls into Hampton (VA) Fire Station on Fire

Posted: May 10, 2016

Tractor-Trailer Pulls into Hampton (VA) Fire Station on Fire

A tractor-trailer that was on fire pulled in to Hampton Fire Station 11, off Big Bethel Road, Monday morning.

Hampton Fire officials tweeted about the fire Monday morning, along with pictures of smoke coming from the truck’s trailer. Officials say the truck pulled into the station around 8:50 a.m.

Officials say crews were on their way to a fire alarm when they found the truck. It took crews 20 minutes to suppress the fire, and no injuries were reported.

Brecksville (OH) Plans to Renovate Fire Station

The city will start a two-year renovation of its single fire station later this year. The project will cost at least $450,000, and probably more, according to city Service Director Ron Weidig. The city will tackle more critical building repairs, like a roof replacement, this year, but due to budgetary concerns, will have to wait until 2017 to complete the overall renovation.

Last fall, the city hired City Architecture Inc. in Cleveland for $25,600 to identify structural problems with the fire station, which is on Brecksville Road just south of Ohio Route 82, next to City Hall. Meanwhile, the city came up with its own, separate list of needed fire station repairs.

Fire Chief Ed Egut said the fire station was built in 1951 with two bays. Three more bays were added in 1974, and in 1983, the city modified the building to accommodate a full-time staff.
