MULBERRY | Mold has forced city firefighters to spend only limited time in the living quarters of their fire station.
Water from a leaky toilet pipe seeped underneath carpeting and damaged particle board flooring in a manufactured house about the size double-wide mobile home.

The house, which is less than three years old, is right next to the decades-old fire station on Northwest Ninth Street.
The leak, and the damage it caused, couldn’t be seen until carpeting was removed.

The problem was discovered when the foot of a Mulberry firefighter went through the floor.

The fix will be about $15,000 and take about a month or more to complete.

In the meantime, firefighters are using the old station for living quarters, where they sleep when they can.

Some are showering in the damaged bathroom and others are using the Badcock Home Furnishing Centers & More gym shower.

Firefighters have been told they can go in and out of the mobile home until the work to clean up mold and mildew begins in earnest.

The firefighters have a microwave and refrigerator, but that’s about it.

Their meals at The Fish Place downtown are being paid for by the city.
