SUMMARY: Construction of Fire Station 15 in Harrison County is progressing, a project long in the making that Fire Chief Pat Sullivan believes will greatly benefit the community and local finances. The station’s location was strategically chosen to accommodate a growing population, improving the state’s fire protection rating. This improvement can lead to lower insurance costs for residents, allowing them to reinvest savings into their homes and businesses. The station will operate 24/7, necessitating trained firefighters and proper equipment. With a completion date projected for July or August next year, Sullivan anticipates increased safety and growth in the area.

A fire station that has been in the making for years now is beginning to take shape in Harrison County.
