Effingham County Builds New Fire Station | Savannah News

Effingham County is investing $2.6 million to build a state-of-the-art fire station in Marlow, designed to meet the skyrocketing demand for emergency services in a rapidly growing area. With call volumes climbing for years—from car wrecks to brush fires—the old station, which barely served as a parking lot, is being replaced by a full-service facility complete with living quarters, 24/7 staffing, dedicated EMS and fire zones, and space for deputies. Located near Highway 17 South and busy roads like Blue Jay and Sand Hill, the new station will slash response times and ensure crews are intimately familiar with the terrain. Though demolition is complete, construction timing remains pending—this upgrade is a major step toward public safety infrastructure that matches the county’s expansion.
