Fairfield Glade (TN) Close to Fire Apparatus Purchase Goal

Posted: Feb 9, 2017

Fairfield Glade (TN) Close to Fire Apparatus Purchase Goal

With the amazing generosity of the Fairfield Glade (FG) residents and with the support of the Fairfield Glade Community Club Board, the fire department is making one last request for donations for the Mini-Pumper Attack Truck vehicle for our Fairfield Glade Fire Department (FGFD).

This vehicle will be their first response, quick attack truck for all incidents in (FG). It will be stocked with medical supplies, extrication and rescue equipment. It will have the ability use its own water supply or hook to a hydrant to fight any forest, vehicle or structure fire.

West Alexander (PA) Fire Department to Build New Garage

A garage that at one time served as the dispatch center for West Alexander Volunteer Fire Company in the days before 911 will soon be gone, but the property that is adjacent to the current building will still serve a purpose for the department.

The former Grimes garage on Main Street, where Ed and Dee Grimes once answered daylight calls and set off the tones for firefighters while Mary Aloe handled night calls from home, will be torn down to make way for a five-bay garage to house the department's fire trucks.

The department, founded in 1931, has outgrown the current fire station, which was built in the 1950s, with a steel building added in the 1970s. The former garage was recently purchased by the department.

College Park (GA) to Consider Jaws of Life Purchase
