UPDATE: Sunday, August 4th
The Cape Coral Fire Department has confirmed that the station's closure was temporary and has been reopened.
A firefighter at the station says other trucks, a tender truck and a battalion chief were available to cover calls during that time.
ORIGINAL REPORTING:
The Cape Coral Police Department said Fire Station 8 on Nicholas Parkway is out of commission due to flooding around the station.
So, I went by to check it out - the road right next to it, Southwest 1st Street, was completely underwater and cars were driving through nearly 2 feet of water that was up to the top of my rain boots. Watch my report here...
We will let you know when we have more information about this station coming back online as we continue to keep a close eye on flooding in the area.
