New Generator Arrives at Fire Station

Batesville Fire & Rescue leaders are pleased to announce the installation of a backup generator at the fire station due to the contributions of the Rising Sun Regional Foundation and John A. Hillenbrand Foundation. Rising Sun Regional Foundation awarded $35,000 and the John A. Hillenbrand Foundation allocated $10,000 for the replacement of a 25-year generator.

Rising Sun Regional Foundation awarded $35,000 and the John A. Hillenbrand Foundation allocated $10,000 for the replacement of a 25-year generator.

“This new generator is crucial for providing backup power and keeping the station operational especially in times of emergency or inclement weather,” Chief Todd Schutte said. “The previous generator was too small and inadequate to serve daily functions and we needed this to provide the best service for our citizens.”

Officials Break Ground on Fire Station 15 Replacement Facility

Gwinnett County Fire and Emergency Services officials are hoping a replacement facility for its fire station in downtown Lawrenceville will provide some needed breathing room. The current Fire Station 15 facility that is located a block off of the Lawrenceville Square was built nearly 40 years ago and was meant to house a smaller group of employees.

Fire department Capt. Tommy Rutledge said the existing Fire Station 15 is 6,324 square feet in size, and has two bays for fire apparatuses. The new facility, he said, will have 10,788 square feet of space, three bays, a commercial grade kitchen, facilities for male and female employees.

Rutledge also said the new facility, which is expected to take about a year to build, will allow up to 12 employees to work on each shift whereas the currently facility can only accommodate a maximum of eight. Twenty-seven people work at the station.

Holland (TX) VFD Receives $100,000 Grant

The Holland Volunteer Fire Department will be getting a new brush truck thanks to a significant grant. HVFD has been awarded $100,000 through the Texas A&M Forest Service Rural Volunteer Fire Department Assistance Program. Chief Coleman Benner said they applied for the funds to purchase a new brush truck.

The department currently has five fire vehicles, and one of their current brush trucks from the year 2000 was getting old and needed to be replaced sooner, rather than later.
