During a recent government meeting, concerns were raised regarding the structural integrity of a local fire station, which has been deemed unsafe for use. A representative highlighted that the building is constructed with clay that is now illegal for construction purposes, raising alarms about its compliance with safety regulations.

The representative noted that firefighters have difficulty accessing the station, as they sometimes need to adjust the door to exit. Additionally, there are significant leaks in the facility, particularly above where fire trucks are parked, indicating ongoing maintenance issues that could compromise operations.

Despite these challenges, the community has secured $500,000 in seed funding aimed at addressing these structural problems. The representative emphasized the urgent need for repairs and improvements to ensure the safety and functionality of the fire station, which plays a critical role in local emergency response efforts.
