A new modern Orlando fire station in the downtown neighborhood of Parramore opened Wednesday after a ribbon-cutting.

The 12,000-square-foot station, known as the "Pride of Parramore" is at the corner of West Robin Street and Harnes Avenue.

Clayton (NC) Donates Fire Apparatus to Fairmont

The Fairmont City Fire Department received a pumper truck from the the Clayton Fire Department Tuesday that Fairmont Fire Chief Garrett Robinson said is badly needed to improve his department’s responses to local fires.

According to Robinson, the donated truck, a pumper that pumps 1,500 gallons of water per minute, saved the town $350,000.
