The Fountain Hill Volunteer Fire Department  recently received a generous donation to the City.

This spot of land, just North of City Hall, was given to
the city strictly for a new Fire Station.

“We are working hard to better serve our response area. Even though the new Station is still aways off this donation is a big step forward in the right direction. A new Station would give us more room to store our equipment, and the ability to have a dedicated area, “THANK YOU.””
