On Friday, September 25, 2020, the Board of County Commissioners held a Groundbreaking Ceremony in celebration of Nassau County Fire Rescue Station 71. The event took place at the site’s location of 96262 Chester Rd., Yulee, FL. Approximately 50 people were in attendance including Elected Officials, Fire Rescue personnel, members of the press, and County residents.

The ceremony began with a welcome message by Nassau County Fire Chief, Brady Rigdon. Board Chairman, Danny Leeper, spoke about the need for a new station and the positive impact it will have on the community. Jay Chung, President of Core Construction Company, expressed his excitement about working with the County and being involved with this very important project.

It is anticipated that the project will be complete in April 2021. We will announce a date for a ribbon cutting as completion nears.

If you have any questions, please contact Chief Rigdon at (904) 530-6600 or via email at [email protected].
