Firefighters can easily see light passing through the cracks in the exterior of their old fire station. When it rains the roof drips water onto the floors, and if an earthquake ever hit, they aren’t sure if the tired building could withstand the rumbling.
The old fire station at 100 Davidson Ave. hasn’t seen any major remodels or upgrades since it was built in the late 1970s. But by late summer, firefighters will relocate to a new $1.5 million station on East Scott Avenue.
“I’m very excited for our firefighters to be able to have a new, safe, modern building to work in and to have enough space for all the equipment,” said John Nohr, fire chief for Clark County Fire & Rescue, which provides contract emergency services to Woodland.
