Sevierville holds grand opening for new fire station

The Sevierville Fire Department recently held a grand opening for its new Station No. 3 located on Prince Street downtown. The new station replaces a former aging facility that was originally built in 1961 and torn down in 2019 after a new headquarters for the department was constructed on Dolly Parton Parkway. The new station incorporates the site’s history with a plaque and the original door as well as other architectural elements from the first facility. The new station will be staffed by six firefighters as well as an engine ladder truck and rescue truck.
