The first of two fire stations that will plug a hole in coverage and lower residents’ insurance costs moved closer to reality Tuesday. Elected officials, Hall County staff and residents gathered to ceremonially break ground at the future Hall County Fire Station 3 at Will Wallace Road and Ledan Extension. The station relocation from a 1970s era building on Short Road — along with the new Station 16 breaking ground at its Shirley and Mount Vernon roads location on Oct. 2 — is a relief for homeowners in the area who should accordingly see their insurance rates drop due to the enhanced coverage.
