Picayune (MS) Fire Station Officially Open

The community had the chance to tour Picayune’s newest fire station, reports Picayune Item.

The 2,800 square foot station features a truck bay for a fire engine, three bedrooms for firefighters, a kitchen, a living room and an office that could later be used as a fourth bedroom as the department’s staff increases, according to previous coverage.

This new station was needed due to the state of the previous location. A local shelter may be able to put the old facility to use if the Picayune School Board approves a request to do so.
