Cherokee County Fire & Emergency Holds Grand Opening for New Station 3

The official grand opening and Hose Uncoupling Ceremony for Cherokee Fires station #3, located at 270 Crown Avenue in Canton, was held last month.

Field Operations Chief Greg Erdely welcomed those in attendance including District 2 Commissioner and former Cherokee County Fire Chief Raymond Gunnin, Holly Springs Mayor Steve Miller and Chairman of the Cherokee County Board of Commissioners Buzz Ahrens and many other local officials and community leaders.

Cherokee County Fire Chaplain Johnny Weaver came forward to give the invocation. Weaver was also the first fire chief for the Hickory Flat Volunteer Fire Department when the original Station 3 was constructed in 1976.

Cherokee County Fire Chief Tim Prather made a special presentation to Larry Berry, who recently retired, thanking him for his forty years of service to the community as fire chief of Hickory Flat Volunteer Fire Department. A plaque recognizing him for his loyalty and service was unveiled at the entrance of the new station.
