(Calexico now has two operational Fire Stations)....The second fire station had opened a while back.

Problems were found, however, and it was closed down. Mold was found in the new station, there were roofing problems, sewer piping needed to be replaced. electrical rewiring was needed and the air conditioning needed to be replaced. The work is done and Fire Station #2 has opened in Calexico. The final cost came in at $1.8 million. The Fire Station is seen by many as a major safety factor for the Border City.
