Groundbreaking held for new E.M. Holt fire station

A groundbreaking for the new E.M. Holt Fire Station was attended by, left to right: Accountant Jessica Conlon, Executive Board Vice President Lee Byrd, Chief Luke Macon, Executive Board Community Member Ray Smith, Executive Board President Barry Crouse, and Executive Board Community Member Vic Allred.

The new Fire Station will be built at 5535 S. NC 62 Highway in Burlington to serve as new headquarters.

The location of this new station is extremely important because it will allow everyone within the area fire district to live within a 5-mile radius of a fire station, which results in faster response times and better insurance ratings.

The old station will remain staffed. Staffing both stations will better serve the community.
