According to the Captain Chris Segovia of the Highland Fire Station (Number twelve), their garage door causes a major problem. In fact, it’s a fire hazard.
The door apparently gets way too hot when exposed to summer heat and sun, and can get up to the 140’s and 150’s Farenheit. This is dangerous for everybody involved. These ruthless temperature are a danger to the firefighters, a danger to passers-bye, and more. Therefore, the fire station usually likes to keep the back door let wide open, such that nice cool air can flow in and let the crew cool off. But the problem, its that every time they leave the station, the men have to actually get out of their trucks and close the garage doors by hand. That’s right: the firefighter’s have a burning hot garage door that doesn’t close automatically!
The irony is very noticeable.
O therefore, their Neighborhood Council voted to give several hundred dollars to these noble men to that they might be able to install a brand new, not-too-hot, automatically opening garage door. It may not seem like such a big deal, but this new item will be able to shave precious minutes off the men’s response time, saving time, money, and possibly lives. The money that the community voted to let them have will eventually flow back to the community.
According to Captrain Gene Bednarchik, it will really help the station and the neighborhood.
"It allows us to get out of quarters that much faster. Right now, it's a manually opening door, and every time the door opens you gotta pull on the chain, we gotta make sure it's secured when we leave, and that takes a lot of time. Now, with the garage door opener, all we have to do is push a button, so we can get out of quarters that much faster."
