MCPHERSON, Kan. — Some rework at the new McPherson fire station will push back the opening of Fire Station Number 2.  

In a Facebook post, the McPherson Fire Department said that some of the plumbing in the ground in front of the apparatus bay overhead doors on both sides of the building needs to be redone. 

They are hoping the nicer weather will allow the contractors to start removal of the concrete in this area early this week. Once the concrete is removed, the piping can be repaired, and the concrete can be repoured. 

They added that the contractors have all the materials needed and are ready to start work.  The city, according to the post, will not incur any additional costs for the repairs to be made. 

They hope to be in the building in time to plant some grass in the yard and watch it grow this spring.
