Rowville scores $5.5m fire station
ROWVILLE will get a new $5.5 million fire station to house paid and volunteer firefighters by mid-next year.
Plans are under way to integrate paid firefighters to support the 55 operational volunteers at the Rowville brigade’s current station in Taylors Lane.
The new paid staff will work day shift until they move into the new facility, where they will then work around the clock.
The station will be built on a 6000sq m site on the corner of Wellington Rd and Le John St, which is currently vacant.

How an African Chief uses Twitter to keep the peace
An African administrative chief uses Twitter to help solve problems and maintain order in his Kenyan village, showing another example of how social media has evolved beyond wired metropolises to reach even the most previously unconnected corners of the globe.
Chief Francis Kariuki — or, @Chiefkariuki, as he’s known online — tweets to defeat thugs and thieves, locate missing children and farm animals, and organize village logistical matters, according to the Associated Press.
In one example reported by the AP, criminals were raiding a school teacher’s home at 4 a.m. until Kariuki intervened via Twitter. After receiving a phone tip, Kariuki sent a tweet that mobilized village residents to gather outside the teacher’s house and scare the robbers away. In another example, Kariuki used Twitter to organize a rescue operation after a man fell into a latrine pit.
