THE CITY OF MUSCLE SHOALS HAS TAKEN THE NEXT STEPS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW FIRE STATION.  THE TIMES DAILY REPORTS, THE NEW STATION WILL SERVE AN AREA SOUTHEAST OF THE CITY THAT HAS SEEN A LOT OF GROWTH.  THE CITY COUNCIL RECENTLY APPROVED THE PURCHASE OF 1.48 ACRES OF LAND ON OLD ALABAMA 20 NEAR NEWLY DEVELOPED NEIGHBORHOODS, SUCH AS CORNELIUS LANDING, DALTON ESTATES AND LEE HIGH ACRES. ACCORDING TO MAYOR DAVID BRADFORD IT IS JUST A MATTER OF PLANNING AND IT COULD BE THREE YEARS BEFORE THE STATION IS COMPLETED.    A NEW 450 THOUSAND DOLLAR E-ONE PUMPER TRUCK IS CURRENTLY BEING BUILT AND ONCE COMPLETED IT WILL BE HOUSED AT STATION NUMBER 2 UNTIL THE NEW FIRE STATION IS BUILT.  CURRENTLY THERE ARE THREE FIRE STATIONS IN THE CITY.
