WHAT ABOUT ELKMONT'S NEW FIRE STATION?

Since the ground breaking ceremony earlier this year, work has continued on the new Elkmont Fire Department.  


 Dirt has been moved and gravel has been trucked in.


Concrete Poured


The trucks rolled in with boxes and beams
The metal building was here, bright and early at 7 am.



The new station will be in front of the community storm shelter on Sandlin Road.  The  station will be 7200 square feet, have 3 bay doors facing the south and 2 facing the north on the back side.  The main lobby entrance, offices, bathrooms, meeting room and kitchen will be on the right or east of the bay doors with a southern exposure.


None of this construction blocks access to the storm shelter located behind the new fire department.  There is plenty of parking behind the dirt pile.  The building should be completed before the fall severe weather season (normally between November and mid December).
