As some of you may know the City of Satellite Beach is going to build a new fire station in about two years. The City is now deciding what to do with the soon to be old fire station. Their first thought is to tear it down and make the property into a retention pond with pavilions and a kayak launch site. I would like to see them keep the building and turn it into a part of the recreation department. They could use the office space for the new part time biologist, FIT space and or some other IRL group. The current bays where the fire trucks are parked could be used for kayak storage and other non motorized vessels like SUPs. If you have any interest in this issue you may want to attend the workshop on Wednesday September 22 at 5:00 pm in City Hall. This will be followed by the City Council meeting where the issue may be decided, so if you wish to speak this maybe the only opportunity you will have. Hate to see it taken to the dump vs re-purposed into something the City residents could use for years to come. If you wish to share this info with anyone you think might have interest feel free to cut and paste.

The new one looks like it's nearly done.

I like the kayak storage idea. Something for locals.

Not so fast. Does the old place have those poles for firemen to slide down? If so, I have an idea on how those could be repurposed.

That is the new Public Works building, the new fire station has not broken ground yet.

Oh, ok, thanks for the info.

@Pabs - I don't think it's too late to install the poles.

I hope this isn't the part where you explain how to smoke them.
