More Why: The Rancho Bernardo Community Council is asking for help in raising funds to renovate the 35-year-old fire station on Bernardo Center Drive. It is estimated that it will take about $675,000 to adequately renovate Fire Station No. 33.
According to the renovation committee, "The underlying issue is that we live in a very nice part of San Diego and yet for these firefighters, who put their lives on the line every day, we don't provide very good living or working conditions."
Originally built for a crew of three, there are now a minimum of six firefighters and paramedics assigned to the station around the clock. The living quarters are too small, and firefighters often have to eat standing up because there just isn't room for everybody to sit in the kitchen. The cramped sleeping quarters have a persistent case of mold due to a leaky roof, and the bunks are only separated by shower curtains (plus it's co-ed). Nice, huh?
There's an extensive list of major repairs and renovations needed, from a new roll-up doors so fire trucks don't have to block traffic to back in, a new front entrance, and much-needed repairs on the living quarters. The cash-strapped City of San Diego has allocated funding to overtime pay, equipment and deferred maintenance, but not to major renovations such as this.
So come on out and support those who put their lives on the line for us, protect our homes, and care for us when we need it most!
