Chief Wesley Williams said adding the new station will improve safety for residents by reducing response times.
“Every second counts when responding to reports of fire and other emergencies,” Williams said in a statement. “The addition of Station 6 means more lives will be saved and property damage prevented.”
The location of Station 6 is vacant land owned by the City. Station 6 will look similar to Station 5 on East Standing Springs Road.
