New Jacksonville fire station opens near Cecil Airport

Read full article: New Jacksonville fire station opens near Cecil Airport

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A new fire station and backup 911 call center opened Friday and will allow firefighters to get to emergencies on Jacksonvilles Westside much more quickly. The new facility located along Aviation Avenue near 103rd Street, near Cecil Airport, was funded in part by a $1.6 million grant from the Florida Department of Transportation. Fire Station 73 will also house an emergency dispatch operation. The existing call center, which handles dispatch for the Sheriffs Office and fire department, takes about 1.2 million emergency calls a year. Not only are the new fire station and additional staffing expected to cut down on emergency response times on the Westside, they could also help bring some homeowners insurance bills down.
