BNSF Gives Site For New Fire Station

Item: BNSF gives site for new fire station /Pia Hallenberg Christensen, SR

More Info: BNSF Railway Co. donated about 4.5 acres to Northern Lakes Fire District for a new station in Rathdrum on Friday. The existing station was built almost 30 years ago, when the fire district was staffed by volunteers and no one spent the night at the station. The donated land, appraised at $665,000, is just north of the station on Highway 53.

Question: Are you still nervous that BNSF refuels trains and has a considerable amount of diesel stored over the Rathdrum Aquifer?
