Renovations are poised to start at Raleigh Fire Station 7 at 2100 Glascock Street. The 1959 engine house will be upgraded with improvements including new bathrooms and showers, new windows and flooring, LED lighting, and bifold bay doors.<\/p>\n

During the estimated four-month project, Squad 7 will move to Fire Station 11 at 2925 Glenridge Road. The move is scheduled for March 31.<\/p>\n

Squad 7 also cross-staffs a mini-pumper + boat trailer + trench rescue trailer. The trailers will be parked at Station 11 along with a towing vehicle, old Haz-Mat 8.<\/p>\n

Mini 7 will be housed at Station 3 and cross-staffed by Engine 3.<\/p>\n
