Prince George’s main fire hall is being called a ‘tired facility,’ and that it has ‘run its course.’
A proposed new site near the YMCA could lead to quick emergency responses.
“The proposed new location of the fire hall provides an eight-minute response coverage area that’s 50% greater than the one we currently have right now. That’s one of the key things when you build a new fire station, locating it where it’s going to provide the best service.”
John Iverson, PG Fire Chief
A bigger garage for the main fire truck, all new dispatch technology, and bigger spaces for crews are also being considered.
The City will decide the station’s fate on October 28th.
