The West Bend Firefighters provided a Facebook post Thursday to “shine a spotlight” on Fire Station 2, 901 N. River Road.
There have been recent studies that have suggested demolishing Fire Station 2 and its future status remains uncertain, but this post suggests a decision for its future is coming soon. The post said to “stay tuned for more information about Station 2 coming this month.”
West Bend Fire Chief Gerald Kudek confirmed Thursday that nothing has been decided yet.
“It depends if we get more firefighters and how many we get,” Kudek said. “We think it’s (Station 2) in a good spot for potential growth, but we are looking at possible remodels or looking at moving stations.”
The next moves depend on the firefighters and if they receive a grant.
“The grant is for nine firefighters and it pays them for three years,” Kudek said.
