Our Elkmont fire fighters have dreamed, planned and saved for decades to build a new fire station on Sandlin Road. Each chicken stew or bean day brought them closer to that day. They put shovel to ground on May 21, 2015 in a ground breaking ceremony.
As the months passed by, the station slowly took shape. Dirt was moved.
Concrete was poured.
The trucks rolled in with boxes and beams
The
station is 7200 square feet and has 3 bay doors facing the south and
2 facing the north on the back
side. There is a main lobby entrance, offices, bathrooms, meeting room and
kitchen on the right or east of the bay doors with a southern
exposure.
They were able to add some wonderful touches to make it one of a kind, a home away from home for our volunteers that are ready to protect the Elkmont community each day.
They are now ready to show off the new station and would like to invite you to the Open house for Elkmont's new fire station this Saturday, March 26, from
10am-2pm.
There will be hamburgers, hotdogs, chips, cake and drinks for all their guests. Everyone is welcome to come and look around. Grab a friend and visit with your neighbors at our newest Elkmont treasure.
