Construction begins on Joplin, Mo., fire stations
It has been one month since a tornado tore a path of destruction through Joplin, Mo. Since then, more than 600,000 cubic yards of storm debris has been hauled away allowing for the construction of temporary public facilities. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers public affairs specialist Sara Goodeyon reports on the progress in Joplin. It might not be business as usual, but at least Fire Station 2 in Joplin will soon be back in business. Don Braun, the area engineer for critical public structures at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Joplin Field Recovery Office, says debris has been cleared and preparations are underway for the installation of temporary facilities to replace the stationhouse destroyed in a May 22 tornado. Corps officials say the units will have living quarters, a full kitchen and a bath. Soon to come will be a heated tent-like garage, complete with doors, for housing the fire trucks. The Corps oversees the construction of public facilities, as assigned by FEMA, following natural disasters or emergencies. Firefighters have been sleeping in tents at the fire station sites since the May 22 tornado.
