Firehouse 32 History - Unscripted Episode 9

Thursday November 2, 2017 marked the end of an era in SMFR history. Fire Station 32, located on the corner of Orchard Road and Quebec Street, has officially closed for demolition to make way for a new modern fire station. 40 years ago Station 32 only cost $350,000 to build; it featured open style sleeping and locker rooms at a time when there were no women firefighters at the Castlewood Fire Dept. Over the years the station was remodeled several times but the needs of SMFR have outgrown the space. The new station is expected to take 9 months to build and will feature 12 bedrooms, 4 larger apparatus bays, a fitness center and training room. Station 32 Firefighters and their apparatus will be housed at neighboring fire stations during construction.

Always home away from home where you live with your other family!! Enjoyed the short history lesson of 32.

Very much like any old firehouse, cramped, compact, but comforting to those who know the stories. Always sad to see a place like this go, but glad they are keeping parts of it alive in the new station.

Glad SMFR is upgrading that house, it looks like it is way past due! Started small when the area was smaller I guess. Is this going to be the same design as the house from episode 2 I think it was? By the way, I prefer the previous intro music!

Whats the intro music?

[@EricWhiteTheGamer]

Why not keep it but make it smaller one unit station or a extra area station?
