Effingham County Fire & Rescue’s continuous effort to meet the needs of a growing population is becoming more evident. New fire stations are set to be built in two key spots — across from Belmont Glen on Hodgeville Road and in Guyton. “We should be seeing some vertical construction on (the Hodgeville Road station) in about six weeks,” Effingham Fire & Rescue Chief Clint Hodges said. Construction started there months ago but it ceased after some foundation work because the company responsible for the project encountered financial difficulty. A new company has taken over. The new Guyton facility will be located on Ga. Hwy 119 just south of the downtown roundabout. “Hopefully, we will see ground broken on that in June,” Hodges said. The Guyton station will be in a perfect spot.
