National board urges new fire station in southeast Middle Town
Underwriters submit a report recommending a new station and engine company in the southeastern area of Middle Town. The review notes annexation east of the city creates distance challenges for protection and suggests locating the station with possible future annexes in mind. The document cites planned improvements including two new stations and equipment. Twelve firefighters are assigned per station across three shifts, with one jumper to be housed in the new facility. No new insurance rating data from the Ohio Inspection Bureau is yet available.
