The substation is being built on a 1.95 acre tract donated to the Fire Department by current member and former Chief Mr. Edd Silver. The department thanks Mr. Silver for his generous contribution. The substation is scheduled to be completed in 2021. It will be funded partially by the NC State Fire Grant.
