SANFORD, N.C. — As one drives into Sanford from the north on U.S. 1, the Colon Road exit is a hub of activity from new houses being built to a growing industrial park.

Now, that area of the city will be protected by a new fire station with crews manning it 24 hours a day.

Sanford’s new Station 5 was dedicated earlier this week. The station will allow the Sanford Fire Department to be more efficient when responding to emergencies, according to city officials. The location is part of Sanford City Council’s vision for “smart, strategic and sustainable growth.”
