The Kodiak City Council is now seeking input from the community on where to put the new fire station after spending months looking at various locations around the city.Â
âIf we are potentially going to put a multimillion-dollar facility in an area we know has the potential to be impacted by a tsunami, it s incumbent upon us to let the community know that,â Councilor John Whiddon said last week.Â

After more than a year spent looking at seven potential sites for the station â including considering response times to fires and studying tsunami inundation zone maps â the city narrowed the list down to three possible sites.Â
