Tommie, theyre looking to nearly triple the size of the current facilities. All to better serve the orange city community. Just a fantastic Fire Department and they need room to expand, said sandy nibbelink, expansion supporter. Built in 1973 the current station houses the trucks, gear, and maintenance on the equipment. The orange city fire chief says the expansion is all about the safety of the firefighters. Where we gear up is about three feet of the apparatus. When we respond to calls we have had some instances where some guys have bumped into have been had, said orange city fire chief dennis vanderwel. Another safety concern. The lack of ventilation. It exposes the firefighters to high levels of contamination from diesel exhaust. We want to put that gear in a special room that is in a ventilated room. So when the guys come back from a call and the stuff is dirty; the stuff can get to the laundry right away and get the contaminates off, said orange city fire chief dennis vanderwel. The Fire Department expansion would take the existing meeting room and move it south, to this empty lot behind me, said Michelle Schoening, siouxlands news channel. The 3. 5 Million Dollar project relies on a bond vote set for march 1st. As well as private fundraising and city funds. One Community Member says the vote is a definite yes. Its very crowded in here. They need work to move, they need work to take care of the equipment and to get their gear on, said sandy nibbelink, expansion supporter. Until then the fire chief says they will continue to work with what they have. If you live in orange city you dont have to wait till march 1st to vote. Folks can head to the sioux
