Sunday was the grand opening of Pelham (AL)’s newly relocated Fire Station No. 3- a brand new state-of-the-art facility, CBS42.com reported. This new station, located on Highway 11, replaces its previous location on Highway 52.

With the relocation some may have concerns of what this means for those near the previous location. City officials tell CBS42 you won’t see much of a difference, the report said.

A fire official said the station was moved to help better serve their fastest growing area, the report said.

Miamisburg and Miami Township residents voted to approve a permanent, 11-mill property tax levy in the November election. Miami Valley Fire District will be getting increased revenue that will help it upgrade its facilities, apparatus and equipment.

The measure eliminates all existing fire-related tax levies in the city and township and replaces them with the new 11 mills, the report said.
