On Friday, August 5, 2016, Orange County Fire Rescue celebrated the newly renovated Fire Station 28 with a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony. Located in Apopka, Fire Station 28 ran 2,491 calls for service during the last fiscal year, 2,025 of which were EMS calls.<\/p>\n
The renovation of Station 28 was led by the Fire Facilities section in conjunction with several County partners. The new fire station is nearly double in size, going from the original 1,100 square feet to 2,000 square feet of living space. The completion of this station supports the fine work the men and women of Station 28 perform daily while providing critical services to the community.<\/p>\n
\u201cStation 28\u2019s first-due area covers more than 40 square miles and includes South Apopka, Clarcona, Paradise Heights and Robinson Hill Heights, just to name a few,\u201d said Orange County Fire Chief Otto Drozd III. \u201cWe are excited to celebrate with the community the new home of Station 28 that will serve Orange County residents and visitors for decades to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOur goal is to provide our firefighters a comfortable, functional space to work and live, as they serve our community 24 hours a day,\u201d said Drozd.<\/p>\n
