The Washington County ambulance service will offer to buy property from Fayetteville for a station, Chief Becky Stewart said Thursday.
Central EMS could stop leasing its station on Crossover Road near Wyman Road for $700 a month and move up the street. The move would provide long-term stability and property ownership, said Steve Harrison, deputy chief for Central EMS. "It's an investment," Harrison said.
The City Council decided Tuesday to sell the Fire Prevention Bureau at 833 N. Crossover Road. On Wednesday, the ambulance authority's executive committee decided to offer $162,000, or what the property appraised for in June.
