After years of planning and construction, Valdosta Regional Airport will soon have a brand new fire station.

The new station will be bigger than the old one and will have upgraded amenities such as a formal decontamination room and a place for firefighters to clean their gear.

"We expect it to be finished sometime, this building we're in now, sometime in May," said Valdosta Regional Airport Manager Jim Galloway, standing inside the soon-to-be-completed new fire station.

"Once we get this building complete, we'll actually start operating out of it. But then we still need to demolish the old building and do some paving and fencing before the project is totally complete," Galloway continued.
