Ethridge Fire & Rescue has made a significant advancement in its emergency services by acquiring property for a second fire station. This new facility will be situated on Ethridge Redhill Road, behind Crossroad Market, specifically at 26 Mark Fields Way. The acquisition was finalized on October 26, 2026, and initial dirt work for the project has already commenced.
Fire Chief Nathan Keeton emphasized that the addition of the new fire station is a major investment in the district’s emergency services. The facility is designed to enhance emergency response times, a crucial element in fire and rescue operations. By improving these response times, the fire department aims to provide better service to the community.
In addition to improving response times, the new station is anticipated to lower homeowners’ insurance costs for local residents. The goal is for homes within a five-mile radius of the new station to qualify for a Class 4 rating. This rating could lead to reduced insurance premiums, offering financial benefits to homeowners.
The project will unfold in several phases, encompassing planning, funding, and construction. As work progresses, further updates are expected regarding the timeline and specific developments related to the new station.
The acquisition of this property and the construction of the second fire station are essential steps in enhancing the capabilities of Ethridge Fire & Rescue. The department is dedicated to effectively meeting the needs of the community.
As the project advances, residents can look forward to more information about its progress and any potential impacts on the community. The establishment of the new fire station is a proactive measure aimed at improving safety and emergency response in the Ethridge area.
