Blackwell Fire Station Rebuilds After Roof Collapse | Little Rock News

After a brutal January winter storm, the Blackwell-Kenwood Fire Department in Arkansas is rebuilding from the ground up — literally. Half their station roof collapsed, leaving only half the building usable. Crews are now tackling major renovations: new walls, plumbing, electrical systems, and bay doors. A key challenge? Finding space for a required storm shelter. With limited room inside, they got creative and partnered with officials to build an underground, 12-person shelter outside the station. While the rebuild isn’t finished, they’re moving forward with safety and service as top priorities. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
