Future of the Winchester Fire Department

There’s a new station coming tom town!  The Winchester Fire Department (Station #2) is currently under construction and nearing completion just off the Old-Estill Springs Rd near the City Park.  This brand new facility will accommodate four firefighting apparatus with living quarters to staff two firefighters around the clock.  This addition will improve response time to many different types of emergencies in this area.  We are looking forward to the grand opening and becoming a part of the communities on that end of town!
