What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Columbia Council voted to begin constructing a new fire station at Columbia Place Mall. This facility will replace Fire Station 14, which was emergency shut down after an internal report found the conditions inside were uninhabitable. The new station is estimated to cost up to $5 million and could take up to two years to complete. Richland County and Columbia are jointly funding the infrastructure updates.
