Greenville Opens New Fire Station on Verdae Boulevard

The Greenville Fire Department opened the doors to its newest fire station Friday. Verdae Station 1 at 825 Verdae Blvd. unfolded its three bay doors to a round of applause from City Council members, firefighters and the public. The station has been operational since February.

During an open house, firefighters provided tours through the station, pointing out such features as its bunk rooms, work out area, and a state of the art kitchen. The station also has a police annex. Response times have been reduced by about three minutes, according to the department's chief. Staffing for the station is nine firefighters in each of three shifts.
