A plaque at the front entrance of the new Town of ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ fire substation honors the university for its role in making the new facility a reality.
ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Fire Chief Eddie King joined university president Leo M. Lambert, Jo Williams, special assistant to the president, and Bill Loy, a board member of ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Fire and Rescue, Inc., and longtime friend of the university, for a recent plaque unveiling. The university donated the land for the substation, located on Powerline Road about 1/2-mile from campus. The substation will offer more efficient fire protection to the university and areas north of the railroad tracks that divide the town of ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ. The town’s other fire station is south of the tracks.
“I thought it was in the best interest of the university and town to have a station on this side of town,” Lambert said in a recent interview with the Rock Creek Record newspaper.
