The Danville City Council has approved a zoning change to allow construction of a fire station for the Bismarck Fire Protection District. The station will be on the north side of West Newell Road near Walmart and Menards. The site is outside of Danville, but still within the mile and a half zoning area controlled by the city.
Bismarck Assistant Fire Chief Jake Wright told the council this a great opportunity for his department,
The new station will replace a garage on West Lake Boulevard that is being used as a station.
Dustin Wells spoke against the plan. His family owns the property next to the proposed station. He says the Bismarck Fire Department has pledged to control noise, but he worries it could affect property values
He also worries about the increased traffic.
