West of Highway 79 in Panama City Beach, a new Bay County Fire Station is being built. This new facility will house 6 full time firefighters, and have the capacity to hold a ladder truck, three fire vehicles, a tanker and a rescue truck.
The land that the new fire station is being build on is a 2.5 acre tract that was purchased from St. Joe last year.
Construction started in August, and the new station is set to be complete by summer of 2011. Construction is by DooleyMack Constructors out of Panama City Beach – thanks for the info, Trey.
The new 11,000 square foot station will have a full kitchen, 6 dorm rooms, a two bay garage, ample parking and a huge driveway that will be plenty large enough to wash the trucks when they aren’t being used. So far, they are under budget and ahead of schedule.
This weekend is the Grills Gone Wild BarBQ Championship at Arnold High School. This is the third year running and it’s bound to be as delicious as ever. Every year they’ve had a huge variety of fantastic BBQ and this year, be ready to soak your tongue and sink your teeth into some really good cookin’.
This event began three years ago and benefits 7 local charities including: Anchorage Children’s Home, Beach Care Services, Boys and Girls Club, Children’s Home Society, Gulf Coast Child Advocacy Center, Panama City Rescue Mission, and St. Andrew’s Community Medical Center.

So, there was an oil spill this summer, close to us, close to home. One could argue that it effected all of us one way or another. Many are up in arms about it, many just want people to stop talking about it. Some are making claims to recover losses, some are making claims to make money, some are making legitimate claims and getting a run-around. Did the BP Effect, effect everyone? Panhandle Helicopter didn’t seem to be concerned with the “catastrophe” that had droves of people and businesses down over the summer. He had record breaking months almost every month this year, and was down, just one month, less than 7%.
