Telford to get new fire station

The Washington County Commission approved a resolution to fund the creation of a new EMS and fire station in Telford. Monday, commissioners unanimously approved the resolution to fund up to $750,000 in capital project funds for the new station. The funding has been approved for fiscal year 2023-24. The new facility will replace the existing EMS Station 5 in Telford. The new station will be located adjacent to the existing one on Highway 11E and will provide extra living space for employees. The old EMS station will be used for storage and could also serve as a training facility.
