County Council Approves Land Purchase for Summerville EMS Station

EMS station will be located on Trolley Road.

Dorchester County Council moved one step closer toward erecting a new EMS station in Summerville last Monday with the approval of purchasing land on Trolley Road.

The land is next to the Waring fire station, where EMS is currently "borrowing space," County Council Chairman Bill Hearn said.

This is part of the project to increase EMS presence throughout the county. The next station will be near Fort Dorchester High School.
