When it comes to Fire Stations, Salisbury seems to be so far out of line it isn't funny! Do you ever wonder WHY the City would refuse a FREE building at the Center of Salisbury, offered by the Mall Owners? I believe they offered the old Wards Service Center. Nevertheless, check out these Fire Stations.
Pocomoke (done by a Salisbury Firm), redesign and construction of old Meatland Supermarket; capital campaign, HERE.
Pittsville (done by a Salisbury firm), HERE.
PG's New Station 26, District Heights, HERE. Oh, By The Way, do take note of all the BLACK Fire Fighters in the photos provided. Many Fire Fighters claim that BLACK people don't typically join Fire Departments. LIARS!
Bowie has put 3 Million so far into the new (not replacement) Station going in at Northwood Drive near the Health Center. The rest of the funding is to come from the County's FY09 Budget.
More to come.......
Umm Joe, the old Wards Service Center building has been torn down. I guess that is no longer on the plate?
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I observed a couple of "emergency" vehicles with their red lights a-flashing running through a red light on Beaglin Park Drive, turning West on Route 50. While I believe that they have the right and resonsibility to circumvent traffic signals for emergency purposes, both of these vehicles switched off their emergency beacons once they had completed the turn through the intersection.
What vehicles were these? None other than a Salisbury FD "Command unit" and another SFD sedan following.
It would appear that your observations about the goings on at the SFD are more believable with each passing day ....

ReplyDeleteWhat basis do you have for your belief, Joe? And was the concept that it would be used where it formerly stood or moved?
As I do not give out my sources, I can assure you the Mall Owners were willing to give that building to the City for free, where it stood, before it was allegedly brought down. The City refused the offer. You should have seen the accidents on Rt. 13 North tonight. Two of the three lanes were closed for like 2 hours. DELMAR did a GREAT job running the show at the Weight Stations.
ReplyDeleteOMG! Did you see all those WINDOWS in the front doors alone? Has anyone counted the windows in the entire building?? Who in the world is going to clean those windows? Not only is the Taj Mal raping the tax payers out of $10 mil it is going to cost a big fortune to maintain the building and clean the windows on a daily basis. I am glad I don't work there.
