Garber builds new floodproof fire station on hill
Garber Fire Department opens a larger station atop a hill after the Turkey River flood damaged the old site. The $150000 facility was funded by a $20000 grant, donations, insurance, and an $85000 bank loan, with land donated by Paul and Esther Kolz. Volga plans an August 26 auction of 15 flood-damaged homes to offset demolition costs and aid buyouts, with viewing August 19 and 30 day/120 day removal windows.
