YES ! - NOVEMBER 6, 1990 - VOTE ! YES ! <br /> SFACTS AND FIGURES <br /> * Fire Station No. 1 , Spring Lake Road & Highway 10, was built in <br /> 1944 and is no longer adequate to meet current and future needs. <br /> Because of its age and condition, it cannot be remodeled to house <br /> modern apparatus. <br /> * Residents and businesses served by Fire Station No. 2, adjacent to <br /> Blaine City Hall, will be cut off from the station when new Highway <br /> 610 is completed. The freeway will make the station virtually <br /> inaccessible for our volunteers. <br /> * First-responding apparatus at Stations 1 , 3 and 4 average 22 years <br /> in age and are due for replacement. The apparatus is wearing out - <br /> costly to maintain. <br /> * Rapid residential and commercial growth of our three cities means <br /> equipment and facilities must be upgraded to provide adequate fire • <br /> protection service. We do not have any type of training facility <br /> but must use city streets and private buildings to drill on. <br /> * No crew quarters at Stations 4 and 5 and no training tower and <br /> related facilities. <br /> • <br />
