Fort Morgan (AL) Getting New Volunteer Fire Station

Plans are moving forward to build a brand-new volunteer fire station in Fort Morgan (AL), reports mynbc15.com.

The new facility will be built just east of Station 2, which is in need of repairs that don’t make financial sense, the report says.

The new digs will be larger and have more amenities, including the ability to withstand heavy winds as well as potentially deploying vehicles right onto the beach, according to the report. A dozen miles of unincorporated beachfront area pose a challenge for the Fort Morgan Volunteer Fire Department.

A groundbreaking at the location is scheduled for Wednesday at 11:30 a.m., and construction should begin soon with a completion goal in the next few months.

Design Work Moving Along on Vernon Township (IN) Fire Department’s New Station

Design work is about halfway complete on the Vernon Township Fire Department’s new station, with construction slated to start in the next couple of months, reports greenfieldreporter.com.

The project cost is estimated at over $6.5 million, with Fortville and McCordsville’s town councils voting in 2021 to allow the township fire board to take on debt not exceeding its current levy ceiling, the report says.

Fire officials say the bays will house an engine, ladder, and ambulance, with the ladder expected to be purchased in the future.

There is no timetable for the station’s completion, and officials say that another station elsewhere in McCordsville will eventually be necessary due to projected growth.
