CHARLOTTE AMALIE — Director nominee of the Virgin Islands Fire Service Daryl George said Sunday that the Tango Company Fire Station in Estate Fortuna on St. Thomas is temporarily closed.
George said the closure was needed after a burnout to the building’s power meter caused the station to lose power shortly before 6 p.m. on Sunday.
Fire Service personnel assigned to the Tango Company Fire Station have all been reassigned temporarily to the Emile C. Berry Fire Station in Estate Dorothea.
The Virgin Islands Fire Service said it “apologizes to the residents of Estates Bordeaux and Fortuna.”
The Tango Company Fire Station is expected to reopen on Wednesday.
