After two years of pushback from the City of Wildwood, the fire district plans to break ground on a new fire station No. 2 before winter, KSDK.com reported.

A Chesterfield judge approved plans to build a new fire house in West County. The ruling came after an ongoing dispute with the City of Wildwood, according to the report.

It took two years to get to this moment after pushback from the City of Wildwood led to a trial where Judge Richard Stewart decided in favor of the fire district, the report said.

Concerns were raised on whether the new station would follow the National Fire Protection Association standard on response times averaging four minutes, the report said.

Ground will be broken on the new fire house before winter and it should take about a year to complete, the report said.

An investigation is underway after an SUV crashed into the walls of a fire station in Dublin, according to police, NBC4i.com reported.

Authorities say firefighters were asleep at a station on West Case Road when they heard and felt a car hit the building at around 2:00 a.m.

The firefighters went outside and didn’t see a driver in the car. No one inside was injured and the building sustained minimal damage, the report said.

The Endwell O.L. Davis Fire Company celebrated its 100-year anniversary Sunday, WBNG.com reported.

County residents lined the street to watch a fire truck parade and enjoy a variety of activities. Other fire stations from across the county also took part in the parade, the report said.

This year the fire company is actually 101 years old but due to COVID-19, the 100-year celebration was pushed until this year, according to the report.

A fire official said the fire company has a long history starting back in 1921 when a fire broke out at the Davis Farm. Endicott’s fire station would cover most fires in the area at that time. However, this time there was a considerable delay in getting to the fire. Forty community members then went door to door to raise money to create a new fire station. The owner of the Davis Farm donated a portion of his land for the first fire station to be built, the report said.

The fire official said support for the fire company continues to this day, the report said.
