The station offers immediate access to roads leading to <br />the corners of the district. Most areas in the district are within 6 road miles from <br />the station. However, there are some areas that approach 9 miles from the station. <br />Stations of some neighboring departments in some cases are closer to areas in the <br />response district than the Orange Grove station. <br />The station has been constructed in stages. It offers clean and modern <br />accommodation for the department including dormitory space for overnight <br />coverage. Facilities include a room for public meetings. The station is well <br />maintained and should provide for a long service life. <br />Organization <br />The District is governed by a 10 member board of directors. The Chief, who has <br />served the department in that capacity for 22 years, reports to the Board. The <br />department is commanded by an officer corps of four chief officers, five Captains, <br />and four Lieutenants. The department meets every first and third Monday for <br />training and business meetings. <br />51 <br />
