New Lebanon (TN) Fire Station Reflects Growth

New Lebanon (TN) Fire Station Reflects Growth

City officials in Lebanon broke ground on a new fire station that was seven years in the making. Fire Station 4 has been planned for Highway 109 and Division Street in the west side of the city. The project would cost the city about $3.5 million to construct and purchase new equipment.

Lebanon Mayor Bernie Ash said that area of the city has been experiencing exponential growth with a nearby subdivision and construction of an 800 unit complex just south of the interstate.

"Nashville is growing by leaps and bounds, and a lot of that growth is spilling into Mt. Juliet and Lebanon and heading this way," Mayor Ash said.

Marshall County (WV) Commissioners Approve Fire Apparatus Funding

Three local fire departments will receive $25,000 each from the Marshall County Commission toward the purchase of new trucks.

Commissioners unanimously approved a total of $75,000 in contributions for the Limestone, Washington Lands and Boggs Run volunteer fire departments during their regular meeting Tuesday.

According to county Administrator Betsy Frohnapfel, the commission puts aside $25,000 each year for any department purchasing a new truck.

On average, the trucks in question range from $250,000 to $400,000 in price.

Study: California High-Speed Rail will Displace Fire Station

The planned high-speed rail route through Kings County will force the Kings County Fire Department to relocate the key Houston Avenue fire station, according to county officials.

A study commissioned by county officials that was made public Tuesday says the California High-Speed Rail Authority's plan to send Houston Avenue either over or under the rail alignment will cause access issues for fire trucks and other emergency vehicles needing to access Houston from the station.
