The Morro Bay fire chief is making a pitch to redesign and staff the former fire station on Bonita Street.
The addition would boost response times to the northern section of the city. High water has been known to delay firefighters stationed downtown.
"Over time, it’s been used for reserve firefighters to come and operate out of to get reserve apparatus. But it was never staffed after that,” Morro Bay Fire Chief Daniel McCrain told a KSBY reporter. “We do provide a good level of service to North Morro Bay, but we’re trying to improve that level of service."
The chief is asking for city officials to fund designs. "That way, we have a shovel-ready project and that makes us eligible to apply for grants and other funding opportunities."
