Mineral & Gold (IL) Fire Department Holds Explosive Ground Breaking Ceremony

The Mineral-Gold Fire Department held an explosive ground breaking ceremony on September 10 to launch the construction of its new fire station, more than 75 years after the construction of its current building, ShawLocal.com reported.

The construction of the new station, which will be located down the street of the current building at 227 Main Street in Mineral, has been a work in progress for many years, the report said.

After years of behind the scenes work of planning, the community can now expect to see progress being made on the new building. The department hopes to have the new building erected by the beginning of the new year, the report said.
