Rural Fire Station Construction and Renovation

Fire protection is a keystone of home security and with improvements to sixteen rural fire stations throughout Sumter County, the safety and security of rural residents will improve. Cherryvale, Dabbs, Wedgefield, Dalzell, Bethel, Pinewood, Rembert, Concord, Horatio, Oswego, Graham, Pleasant Grove, Mayesville, DuBose, Byrd, and 521 South will all benefit.

Project Purpose

Many of Sumter County's rural fire stations are in rough shape, and in bad need of modernization and repair. This project is improving many of our rural fire stations to ensure they meet current state and local codes for the safety of local volunteer fire fighters and the residents they serve.

The Penny for Progress will:

• Replace and/or provide additions to: Cherryvale, Dabbs, Wedgefield, and Bethel Stations
• Provide improvements to: Pinewood, Rembert, Concord, Dalzell, Horatio, Oswego, Graham, Pleasant Grove, Mayesville, Dubose, Byrd and Hwy 521 stations.

Project Details
