It is just a half-mile away from State Road 82, an area where fire chief Robert DiLallo said they frequently respond to high-impact crashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staff said the 8500 square-feet station is the model for future ones and was approved by voters in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ceremony featured community members, fire commissioners, and firefighters who welcomed in visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chief Dilallo believes this is a great addition to the community and should be a big help in emergencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe started noticing that we were having a tremendous amount of calls out in this area, and then once we widen State Road 82, we\u2019re really having a high call volume of motor vehicle accidents out there as well. This was a perfect location because it allows us to make it to our industrial park very quickly, but also to State Road 82,\u201d Dilallo said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staff said they hope to have a new station every three years, with the next possible one being built at Grant Road and State Road 82.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
