Fire fire station to honor Charleston 9

Fire fire station to honor Charleston 9

On the heels of the tenth anniversary of the Sofa Super Store fire, the Charleston fire department is a step closer to building a new station next to the memorial for the nine firefighters who died in the blaze. The station will tie into the memorial for the fallen firefighters.

Plans to build a new station next to the memorial go back to December 2014. It was part of a 20-year plan to renovate and build new police and fire stations.

Tippett hopes the new station will help provide better service to the community while honoring the Charleston Nine.

"The presence of the station will probably be a larger symbol," he said. "It will become a commanding visual when you're driving up and down Savannah Highway and project to the community that we're there."

Ferguson Township Receives Fire Station Feasibility, Desirability Report

Ferguson Township Receives Fire Station Feasibility, Desirability Report

Alpha Fire Company has three fire stations in the Centre Region, and a new one might be on the horizon. Centre Region Council of Governments Fire Protection staff evaluated the desirability and feasibility of establishing a fire station in Ferguson Township, at the request of the township.

The township’s 2017 budget has $80,000 set aside for land acquisition, Pribulka said.

The next step for the township is for the Board of Supervisors to discuss the report and its results at an upcoming meeting.

The report recommends that construction take place either in the short term (one to three years) or the near term (three to five years), and finds that the most desirable location for a station would be along West Whitehall Road between West College Avenue and Plainfield Road.
