Soon, a training facility at the Richardsville Volunteer Fire Department Station 2 will be available for volunteer firefighters throughout Warren County and beyond.
The facility should catch the eyes of any motorist driving past the station on Mount Olivet-Girkin Road, standing more than 25 feet tall and made of shipping containers stacked on top of one another.
Pat Stewart, chairman of the Richardsville VFD board of directors, said firefighters have wanted the facility for some time.
“This has been in discussion probably about two years,” he said.
Throughout daylight hours Wednesday, CDK Construction used a crane to stack more than a dozen shipping containers, each 40 feet long and 9.5 feet tall, on top of one another in the shape of two adjacent towers.
