North Shelby Fire Department to receive county-funded radios in June 2026; Station #2 planning under way, chief says
Summary
Fire Chief Randy Sipe told the council the North Shelby Fire Department will receive all-new radios in June 2026 funded by Shelby County and said he is working with PAZ Chairman Wayne Jones on plans for a new unit building at Station #2.
Fire Chief Randy Sipe reported to the Town Council that the North Shelby Fire Department will receive all-new radios in June 2026, with funding provided by Shelby County.
"The North Shelby Fire Department will receive all new radios in June of 2026 to be funded by Shelby County," Sipe said, describing the county-funded equipment upgrade.
Sipe also said he is working with PAZ Chairman Wayne Jones on planning for a new unit building at Station #2, indicating preliminary coordination between the fire department and town planning authorities. The minutes do not record estimated cost, procurement details, or a construction timeline for Station #2.
Why it matters: Replacement radios can affect emergency communications and response; county funding signals intergovernmental support for the department's equipment needs. No further details on the Station #2 building timeline or budget were recorded in the minutes.
