Min­is­ter of Home­land Se­cu­ri­ty Roger Alexan­der made a site vis­it to Tor­rib Trace, Princes Town where gov­ern­ment pro­pos­es to house a tem­po­rary fire sta­tion.

The vis­it fol­lows the clo­sure of the pre­vi­ous Princes Town Fire Sta­tion in 2024. That sta­tion, which served the com­mu­ni­ty for over 75 years, was deemed struc­tural­ly un­safe by the Ar­chi­tec­tur­al and De­sign En­gi­neer­ing Branch of the Min­istry of Works and Trans­port and rec­om­mend­ed for de­mo­li­tion and re­con­struc­tion.

The Min­istry is eval­u­at­ing an ex­ist­ing build­ing at Tor­rib Trace to serve as a tem­po­rary op­er­a­tional fire sta­tion and train­ing fa­cil­i­ty for fire of­fi­cers in the south­ern di­vi­sion.
