Posted on: August 5, 2024[ARCHIVED] Officials Break Ground on Fire Station No. 4 at Duplex & Buckner
State, county, and City of Spring Hill leaders joined together on August 5, 2024, to celebrate the groundbreaking at Fire Station No. 4 — the Mitchell Earwood Memorial Station.
Located at the corner of Duplex Road and Buckner Lane, Fire Station No. 4 is scheduled to be completed in late 2025. Once fully staffed, Fire Station No. 4 is projected to decrease Spring Hill Fire Department response times by about 25 percent.
The station is named in honor of former Spring Hill Firefighter Mitchell Earwood, who tragically lost his life in a weather-related incident on May 3, 2020. The City was honored to have his family in attendance at the groundbreaking, and we will proudly display Mitchell's fire gear near the entryway of Fire Station No. 4 once it is completed.
On March 18, 2024, the Spring Hill Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BOMA) voted to approve a contract between the City of Spring Hill and Chris Woods Construction Company to begin the construction of Fire Station No. 4. On July 15, 2024, a total amount of $10,500,000 was approved by BOMA for the project.
