Station eight has been on Innerarity Point road forever. Have you seen or researched the design? For those of you thinking you now how the LOST program works, or other funding does please do some research before speaking. Those of us who do know are a bit amused by your replies. Another way to look at this price is to compare it to Station 13. State of the art building. Firefighters and the community they serve deserve the best. For those of you who keep voting the same people in over and over, vote different or run yourself. Do you know what it takes to add a fire hydrant? Draft up a plan and give it to your BOCC rep and Michelle Salzman, Matt Gaetz, even Governor DeSantis. @SueB. Station eight has been on Innerarity Point road forever.

And for those of you complaining about the price, take a good hard look at your Commander in Chiefs price hikes on everything due to his inept practices. And yes it trickles down. About time!

There's no way that materials and labor would even reach a million dollars, this is thievery at it's finest!!! When will the state look into the price gouging by construction companies that is taking place in the state, heck the country for that matter. The price is ridiculous!!!

I have been asking ECUA & Jeff Bergosh for just one (1) new Fire Hydrant to be installed on the most eastern homes on Ailanthus Court. It's all about funding. Fire Station leased a building on Bauer Rd for years and now closed because the family would not renew the lease. Fire Station was moved to Innerarity Rd. Do you know you have to call 911 if you report a fire or complaint of someone burning which includes smoke. 911 Will ask you if you see the flames. Calling the Fire Department want help. How nice.

When the property was donated by the Twilleys, there was a plaque on the corner of the existing building dedicating the property to the county. I would hope that the powers to be would incorporate that plaque into the new firehouse . I’m sure the family would appreciate it! It was donated to the beulah volunteer foundation who then sold it for profit to escambia County. If I was the twilley's I'd be a little more upset about that. Just a quick thought.

At least commissioner Bergosh isn't trying to name it after himself like his predecessor did with the boat ramp.
