The Gott Fire Department has plans to build a second fire station to better serve residents of its coverage area, particularly housing developments near Kentucky Transpark.
Jason Duckett, chief of the volunteer fire department, said there’s been a great deal of development near the transpark in the last few years, prompting demand from residents for a fire station closer to them.
“With the transpark expanding over there, the demand for housing over there has really grown,” he said.
Duckett said he and his fellow firefighters have long been interested in establishing another fire station in their coverage area.
“I’ve been fire chief for six years and it’s been a hope for me since I became chief,” he said.
Plans for that new station are well underway, he said.
