Fowlers Bluff residents can now feel more secure about fire rescue services in their area, according to county and community officials.
Monday was the first official day of operation for the Levy County Fire Station No. 4, said Levy County Department of Public Safety Director David Knowles in a public meeting Monday at Fowlers Bluff.
The station and its crew of firefighters, formerly known as the Fowlers Bluff Volunteer Fire Department, signed on to merge with the county's fire department several months ago.
Knowles said the area will now benefit from the services of two daytime firefighters from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day of the week—helping to ensure adequate coverage during daytime hours when the department's six volunteers are at their regular jobs.
"We think it's all a win-win situation for everyone involved," said area resident and FBVFD board member Dr. Bob Mount.
