firefighters and inspectors inside partially finished fire station

The City of Greer is getting closer finishing construction on a brand new fire station on Suber Road.

“It’s an exciting time for our department as we grow and as we get a new fire station to better serve our citizens,” Deputy Fire Chief Josh Holzheimer said.

Holzheimer and others recently took a walk through of the partially constructed station.

“Making sure things are where they’re supposed to be and that they coincide with the drawings that we approved,” Holzheimer said.

He says the layout of this station is bigger than the one it will replace on Hood Road. Plus, it brings much needed modern updates.

“To see that they have a space to relax when they’re not running calls and then it has a spot where if they’re studying, they have a room that they could go to, and they could study by themselves. It gives them a little bit of privacy while they’re here,” Holzheimer said.

Holzheimer says it will be a great day when they are finally able to move in and start operations.

“I can’t wait I’m so excited for them to see where we’ve come from and where we’re going in the future and how the city focuses on public safety to better serve our citizens and protect them it’s going to be an exciting day,” Holzheimer said.
