Fulton opens new Southside fire station

Fulton County’s Fire Rescue Department will have a grand opening ceremony Wednesday for its new Fire Station 11, at 4760 Fulton Industrial Blvd., in south Fulton. The event, from 10 a.m. to noon, will include a ribbon cutting and tours of the new station.

The $2.6 million facility was built on the same site as the old station 11. It was financed through low-interest American Recovery and Reinvestment Act bonds, which will be repaid through south Fulton’s special services tax.
