Bruceton Fire Chief James Sloan is used to fighting fires, but typically not within his own building. “It was a very rough day in Bruceton, but we got through it,” he said.
Nearly four years ago, a blaze damaged Bruceton’s only fire department, damaging several thousands of dollars in equipment.
But Thursday, Chief Sloan unveiled a brand new station.
“We’re proud of it,” he said. “A lot of hard work went into it, and I think it’s a very important asset to the town.”
Chief Sloan says the new building is four times as big as the old one and made of fire resistant materials.
“It’s just been a tremendous upgrade for the town to have a better fire station,” Bruceton Mayor Robert Keeton said.
