San Perlita Volunteer Fire Department expanding fire station
San Perlita's fire station is getting a facelift thanks to a $350,000 grant.
The fire station currently houses the department’s two brush trucks and other equipment.
The grant is helping pay for a 1,500 square-foot extension of the building to add showers, sleeping areas, a kitchen and a meeting area for its eight volunteer firefighters.
“They’re actually excited there are going to have a place with air conditioning,” San Perlita Mayor and Fire Chief George Guadiana said.
Guadiana said the structure should be up within 60 days.
