CLEVELAND, Ga. – With the anticipated opening of White County’s new Fire Station No 9, on the north end of Duncan Bridge Road, later this year, the board of commissioners, following an executive session on Monday, voted to hire three additional full-time firefighters.
A statement from White County advised that the new fire station will open in June. The Board unanimously voted to add the three additional personnel so that they and three others will be able to go through orientation and training together.
Shanda Murphy, Assistant County Manager, said, “The FY 26 budget already had the hiring of 3 additional full-time firefighters for the last quarter of the fiscal year.” She said with that action on Monday night, it will add the hiring of 3 more firefighters for the current fiscal year, adding an additional $33,363 to that budget.
