The Brooks County Fire Department may be making the county a safer place and possibly decreasing the cost of insurance for some home owners and renters in the process.
The department is working on a new fire station.
“We’re working to move a new station out to the middle of the county off of Jackson Road," said David Crosby, the Brooks Station fire chief.
Firefighters with the Brooks County Fire Department are expecting to finish their new building within the next month.
“Working with the state of Georgia and the county government agencies, working together we were able to acquire the old Georgia Forestry building out on Jackson Road," explained Crosby.
Officials said this central station will give the county a variety of perks.
