Plans are in the works to rename an Asheville fire station. Fire Station 9, on Fairview Road, would be renamed in honor of Grady Wilson, Sr. Wilson is one of seven firefighters with the City of Asheville who was killed in the line of duty.
Chief Burnette says this would be the fourth fire station named after a fallen firefighter in the city, and Wilson's family asked for this particular station.
"The family has a connection to the Oakley community," Burnette said. "They have a connection to that area and that firehouse. Since old Station 3 where he was working on that tragic day where he died was no longer available, they felt Station 9 would be a good place to honor Grady Wilson."
