Local government officials in Linden and Region Ten are intensifying their call for a fire station in the aftermath of a recent blaze that claimed the life of a woman and her niece.
The Regional Democratic Council of Region Ten and the Mayor & Town Council of Linden released a joint statement on Tuesday, extending condolences to the relatives and friends of the late Cheryl Moore and her niece who perished in the fire on Monday night at Silvertown, Wismar, Linden.
“As your elected representatives, the RDC and the Municipality have continuously represented the need for the provision of a Fire Station at Wismar to address these emergencies. Indeed, given the terrain of the communities at Wismar, the restrictions posed by the current configuration of the Wismar-Mackenzie Bridge, and the geographic expanse presented for coverage by this section of the town, this call for the construction of a Fire Station was taken up by the 9th Council of The RDC and the 11th Council of the municipality as soon as they assumed office.”
