SUNBURY, Ohio (WCMH) — A new fire station is one step closer to becoming a reality. 

Since 2019, Delaware County EMS and the BST&G Fire District have been planning a new facility, and on Monday, leaders finally broke ground.  

BST&G serves Sunbury, Berkshire Township, Trenton Township, and Galena. 

The new building will be on Wilson Road in Sunbury, just off Interstate 71. 

Leaders said they respond to many incidents every day.

“For two departments to come together like this and the collaboration, you know it’s great to see this come to fruition at this point,” Director of EMS Jeff Fishel said. 

EMS and fire district officials said the new station will prove to be invaluable as the Delaware County area continues to grow.
