TONEY, Ala. (WHNT) — Toney Volunteer Fire & Rescue has acquired some new land to build a brand new fire station.
According to TVFR officials, the department purchased 3.2 acres of land from Logan Farms, located on the north side of Toney Road, west of Old Railroad Bed Road.
TVFR said that they plan to build a new fire station on the property with long-term hopes of incorporating a new storm shelter to enhance public safety.
“On behalf of the men and women of Toney Volunteer Fire & Rescue, I want to say a heartfelt thank you to the Logan family for their unwavering support for our vision for the future,” said Fire Chief Heath Jones. “Their generosity and commitment to our community is deeply appreciated.”
The department added that the new fire station will mark a major push forward in meeting the growing demands from the Toney community and surrounding areas.
“Madison County is one of the fastest growing counties in Alabama, and this growth directly impacts the demand on facilities and equipment. Like many volunteer fire departments across North Alabama, TVFR is navigating significant growth, and the addition of a new station will greatly improve the department’s ability to respond more effectively to emergencies.”
Additional information about the project’s timeline and community engagement opportunities will be shared at a later date.
