Re: The letter “Build police, not fire, station,” A-J, Jan. 7.
To the gentleman who stated a fire station should not be built where the old Health Department was located. Yes, there is a fire station at 17th Street and Avenue K that is approximately 37 years old and is in dire need of a lot of repairs.
That fire station will be demolished when the new station is built. I think our City Council and the fire administration have the sense enough not to have two fire stations that close to each other.
