Aiken Fire Department Nostalgia Tour Highlights Space Strain
A nostalgic look at the 1938 Aiken Fire Department building and its two small engines, now crowded by 21 full time firefighters and seven vehicles. Officials say cramped two section garage, 14 foot alley, hose drying for 1300 feet, shared space with police, dormitory crowding, and parking issues hinder response times. The scene ties to a $1.6 million bond plan and a proposed $40 000 Public Safety Building.
