Gallaudet Students Get New Neighbors

Firefighters from DC Station 10 have taken up temporary residents at Gallaudet University while their station is renovated. It’s more than 80 years old. The makeover will cost a whopping two-and-a-half million. In the meantime, firefighters are using an old warehouse into a temporary station on campus. It could be a year before they move back to the old location.

Station 10 is considered one of the busiest fire houses in the country because it serves a large area of low income densely packed residents. While the firefighters are learning sign language, there is one exception among them. Joey Keller is fluent in sign language and his my parents met at Gallaudet where they went to school.
