Mt. Zion Fire Department rebuilding

The Mt. Zion Fire Protection District lost a fire station and apparatus this past May due to a fire. They have rebuilt the station and just took delivery of a new tower ladder.

Their website has photos documenting the entire process of rebuilding from the fire. Photos with details beginning with the fire can be found HERE, followed by demolition, and updates on reconstruction HERE, HERE, and completion of the project HERE.
