When the fire trucks are backed into their spots, there is only about six inches of room to maneuver behind them.
The current building has served as the fire department for a little over 30 years.
Chief Hall said that he hopes that with this grant, they can build something that will serve the town of Blountstown for many years.
"We want to build something that's going to be here for the next fire chief and two fire chiefs down the road," said Hall.
Though having more space will be great, Chief Hall said that building a new station will help the department grow in other areas as well.
