Potential plan calls for fire station to replace old CG auditorium
by Gabrielle Olivera | Casa Grande Dispatch
The Casa Grande Fire Department told the City Council during a study session that building replacement stations is overdue and one potential site is where the old high school auditorium sits next to City Hall.
According to the presentation, Station 501 is 70 years old, Station 502 is 25 years old while Station 503, which is currently closed, was a high school modular building donated to the city in 1980.
“The current and past growth of the city has rendered the locations of fire stations inefficient for emergency response, increasing response times and creating real time life-safety issues for the citizens of the community as well as fire department personnel,” the presentation said.
