The 2,270 square-foot steel structured facility will be located behind Fire Station 2 on South Reynolds Road.   

The building which will consist of 10 Conex boxes can be used for a variety of training purposes. 

"I've wanted to do this every since I've been here," Jordan said. 

Currently, Bryant officers must do training on parking lots or in apparatus bays. For other options, the firefighters have to travel to nearby training facilities. 

Lt. David Webb, a Hyannis firefighter who’s spearheading the project, said the monument is designed to remember the nearly 3,000 victims of the 2001 World Trade Center disaster, including the 500 first responders who gave their lives.  

The site will also “memorialize line-of-duty deaths of Hyannis firefighters, past, present and future,” and serve as a thank-you to the local community for the new Hyannis station, Webb said.

Webb, who has been a Hyannis firefighter for 10 years, explained that “in a prior lifetime” he worked as a stonemason, a profession that has served him well, as he has taken on much of the work designing and implementing construction of the new monument.

“It could have been a lot worse,” Village of Tivoli Mayor Joel Griffith said just after midnight Saturday morning. The fire prompted response from multiple agencies. “It’s startling. It’s disturbing. But, nobody got hurt. The response from our fire company, the county and all the adjacent fire companies, it’s humbling and tremendous.”  

One day after a fire decimated the village's firehouse, department representatives were optimistic. And, Fire Chief Marc Hildenbrand said, "we will continue coverage for citizens in the village (of Tivoli)."

The firetruck then struck the F-250, GSP said, sending it a short distance and causing it to overturn. The wreck led to three injuries, with two passengers in the pickup truck being taken to an Atlanta area hospital for treatment. Their conditions weren't released; though, the Walton County Sheriff's Office referred to the crash as serious in a Friday afternoon Facebook post.  

According to the early investigation, the firetruck driver, who had a red light at the intersection, "failed to use proper due regard" while entering the intersection.
