Demolition of Fire Station 51 Begins

Contractors began demolishing Fire Station 51 on West Elkcam, which was originally constructed in1968 by Deltona when the island was first being developed.

The station suffered major damage from a lightning strike and subsequent fire in July 2016 and was unable to be rebuilt.

The city is in negotiations with their insurance carrier now and has received a million dollars from the state of Florida through grants obtained over the last two years.
