"Our newest station was built in 1975. It's not conducive to how we want to operate right now. We have 3 females there, and we have them in a locker room that was designed for 1 female. Our bedroom is our classroom. Our bays were designed to be drive throughs. We have trucks pointing out at every door we have, so everybody is backing in. We're just... we're busting at the seams," says Chief Jack McDermitt, Lima Fire Department.
