OK - here is the back story that I can see
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1wPJGvUgcaPi4IQARqDZXoQ3WUNg&usp=sharing
- zerg90 map of fire stations in Twiggs County GA
Twiggs County has 6 fire stations - its a rural area - main roads are
45 mph limit but you can probably do 100 - all flat - mostly straight
- shallow curves
Maybe all 6 fire stations are totally volunteer - no pay whatsoever
4 of the stations seem to operate under the County EMA Chief - the
other 2 are city owned and operated
If I had to guess I would guess that city taxes pay for the city Fds
and county taxes pay for the 4 other stations
the citys own their own stations - the other 4 stations are owned by the county
the new station will be 1 mile from the Jeffersonville City Fire
Station - which seems quite small and old - the new station will not
be in a very good location
seems that a much better idea would be to fold the 2 city FDs into the
County FD - and build a nice new station in Jeffersonville next to the
Courthouse / Sheriff Office - from there they would have good access
to 6 major roads heading out of town
--------------------
I need to double check if the citys have any paid guys at all - they
look too small for that
Jeffersonville - zero paid guys - per

Danville - zero paid guys - per
