Del City Fire Chief Jim Hock announced Monday that effective immediately Fire Station #2, located in the southern part of Del City, will be closed and the Rescue Unit removed from service due to budgetary constraints. He says the firefighters will be relocated to Fire Station 1. He calls it a 'perfect storm' of budgetary constraints, loss of sales tax revenue, retirements and a loss of firefighters to other fire departments. "We will continue to provide fire protection and medical response, with minimal impact to our citizens," he said.
