MT. JULIET, TN. — June 22, 2023 – The city of Mt. Juliet, Tenn. announced the grand opening of its Fire Station No. 2, a new 9,750-square-foot facility to house emergency services, administrative personnel, and equipment for the city. The city held a ribbon cutting and grand opening ceremony on Wednesday, June 7 with city residents and project partners to commemorate this new beacon of hope and safety in the community.

The new building includes administrative offices, a day room, individual sleeping units with shared restrooms, three apparatus bays and additional support spaces.

Juliet. “The addition of Fire Station No. 2 will provide faster responses to emergencies not only on the north side but across the city as a whole, and we look forward to this new facility helping to better protect our community.”
