PRESS RELEASE
We truly appreciate the community members, elected leaders and media partners who made the grand opening of Station 14 a success yesterday.
This state-of-the-art facility is part of our ongoing effort to improve response times and living conditions for our first responders.
Featuring rapidly opening bay doors, private dorm rooms, bathrooms, a commercial kitchen, and a gym, the station is a significant improvement over the previous aging facility. It’s also the culmination of an effort to similarly rebuild 3 other stations over the last few years.
In 2022, crews handled 2,229 calls from the old station, and covered 40 square miles.
A huge thank you to the Martin County Board of County Commissioners for helping us make this a reality.
We also thank Rep. John Snyder for his attendance.
We appreciate the support from the community and everyone who tuned in on Facebook, as well.
The best is yet to come!
