North Side residents can expect the reopening of the Dorothea Fire Station after 10 Fire Services recruits complete training in early May, according to St. Thomas-St. John Fire Chief Melvin Potter.
In a Government House statement, Potter said the Fire Fighter Class of 2001-2 began an eight-week training course Monday. The first class, 2001-1 began training on St. Croix on Jan. 22.
The Dorothea station has been closed since summer 1999.
