Construction has begun on a new county fire hall in the Four Seasons Community, a project that has been in the making for four years. 

In November the county commission voted 10-4 to award the bid for the project to Johnson Builders of Doyle, Tennessee. Their base bid was $160,820 with alternate deducts of $8,000 for work on the parking lot and $4,000 to add insulation to the building. The contractor has 270 days from the start of construction to complete the project. Inclement weather over the winter forced delays until recently. 

When the fire hall is completed, the county will have a fire truck ready to put in it after having secured grant funds with a local match months ago. The fire truck, 1993 model with less than 25,000 miles was purchased in October for $25,000 from a fire department in Connecticut.

The new fire station at Four Seasons will be the 12th station in the county operated by the DeKalb County Volunteer Fire Department. The other fire halls are on Short Mountain Highway, Midway Community, Belk, Keltonburg, Cookeville Highway, Austin Bottom Community, Liberty, Temperance Hall, Main Station, Johnson Chapel, and Blue Springs.
