The San Juan Busi­ness As­so­ci­a­tion (SJ­BA) is re­new­ing its call to the Gov­ern­ment to stop spend­ing mon­ey on re­pairs and in­stead re­lo­cate the San Juan Fire Sta­tion to a safer, more ac­ces­si­ble site.

Pres­i­dent Abrahim Ali ex­pressed frus­tra­tion that af­ter more than 20 years of ap­peals, the Fire Sta­tion re­mains stuck in its cur­rent lo­ca­tion in the busiest part of the Croisée, cre­at­ing se­ri­ous chal­lenges for emer­gency re­sponse.

“Don’t waste pub­lic funds on patch­work re­pairs,” Ali said. “The fire sta­tion must be re­lo­cat­ed im­me­di­ate­ly to en­sure quick­er re­sponse times and bet­ter work­ing con­di­tions for fire of­fi­cers.”
