PORT ALLEN - The West Baton Rouge Fire Department has a serious shortage of manpower and they are asking parish residents to step up. We re actually at an all-time low in volunteers, Capt. James Hartley said.
Hartley says the shortage is concerning for the fire department because they make up a large part of the department s staff. We actually rely real heavy on volunteers. We are a combination department. We actually have more volunteers than paid personnel, Hartley said.

The City Council on Tuesday night approved the final design for a new Fire Station #2, a $9.5 million project expected to be completed by 2023.
The existing Fire Station #2, located at 1400 Manhattan Beach Boulevard, was constructed in 1954. Senior engineer Mamerto Estepa Jr. told the council that the building has numerous deficiencies, including the fact that it is not earthquake-proof, has no changing areas or even bathrooms for female firefighters, is not large enough to fit modern fire apparatus that are not customized to fit within its bay doors, includes no ventilation or extractor systems to help make living quarters safe from the often toxic particles collected on firefighter turnout gear and fire apparatus, and no shop area to work on firefighting apparatus and other equipment.
