Re:  
 
Temporary Closure of the Bordeaux Fire Station 
 
 
 
Tango Company 
 
Due to unforeseen mechanical failure of a fire apparatus located at the Tutu 
Fire Station in Annas Retreat, the Virgin Islands Fire Services is forced to 
temporarily close the Bordeaux Fire station until further notice while repairs are 
being made to the apparatus. 
 
The apparatus and personnel assigned to the Bordeaux Station are being 
relocated to the Emile Berry Fire Station and personnel of the Dorothea fire 
station have been relocated to the Tutu Fire station until repairs have been 
completed. 
 
All emergency calls for the Bordeaux community will be handled through the 
Dorothea fire station.  911 operators are aware of the temporary closure and 
will dispatch the closest fire service to any emergencies accordingly. 
  
The Virgin Islands Fire Services regrets any inconvenience this may cause to 
the Bordeaux community.
