When the siren goes off, Fire Chief Terry Schadt says that's a sign that help's on the way. But those not in the know, or who aren't longtime residents of West Peoria, might instead think a tornado's on the way.

Milton firefighters returned Monday to an upgraded Fire Station 41, having spent months being hosted by their Roswell colleagues while needed mold remediation work was completed. Station 41, at the intersection of New Providence Road and Arnold Mill Road/State Route 140, closed last November after an air quality assessment found high levels of black mold spores in its bunk room and elevated levels in its common areas.

The $1.5 trillion 2022 Omnibus Spending Bill signed into law last week will see $1.3 million given to the Nashville Fire Department to go toward its long-standing plan to build a second station, reports rockymounttelegram.com.

In August 2020, town officials acknowledged the need to accommodate growth in certain areas by cutting response times with another facility. The proposed station had a projected cost of $1.4 million in 2020, the report says.
