"One of the ways we accomplish safety in our community is having adequately staffed and equipped emergency and first-response services," Cartwright said.

A groundbreaking ceremony was held Monday behind the existing Greenwood Hose Co. 1 firehouse on Birney Avenue, where the new, approximately 18,000-square-foot facility will be built. The old building will be demolished upon completion of the new one.
