The Sumter County Chamber of Commerce hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony for the grand opening of the West Bushnell Fire Station 22. This location is strategically significant in that it addresses the need for a fire station at the western area of the city which is cut-off geographically by a railroad line with no overhead crossing from the existing fire station that serves this area. In keeping with fire house tradition, Commissioner Don Burgess “cut the ribbon” on the new station by taking apart couplings on a fire hose.
