Groundbreaking for Moraga-Orinda Fire District fire station 43 took place Nov. 9 as the construction phase of the project begins in earnest. The new $4.5 million Orinda station will be erected on the Via Las Cruces site of the razed station, which had deteriorated beyond repair.

"The construction has proceeded on time, with no delays, and we are under budget," said Fire Chief Stephen Healy. "We have received cooperation from the city and the county and there have been no problems whatsoever." Completion is expected in October 2017.

The firefighters work out of temporary quarters in the St. Stephen's Episcopal Church parking lot, less than 300 feet away from the station site. - N. Marnell
