HILLANDALE, Md. — A fire station in Maryland is packing up and moving for four weeks due to a potential airborne health concern found in its building.
That is the Hillandale Fire Station 724, part of the Montgomery County Fire Department. According to the department, remediation was recommended after a potential airborne health issue was detected in the building. So all personnel and equipment are being temporarily relocated for the clean up.
Remediation will take approximately four weeks. The remediation was recommended by a hygienist, the Department of General Services and the Montgomery County risk management division, the department said.
During the station’s closure, neighboring stations in Burtonsville, Wheaton and Glenmont will cover service to the Hillandale station's area.
The fire department has not said what type of airborne health concern was detected in the station, or if any firefighters in that station have already been affected by the health threat.
