SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — State-of-theart fire stations, all within the city limits, are on the horizon in Sandy Springs. The Sandy Springs City Council and Public Facilities Authority approved issuing $50.5 million in revenue bonds Aug. 5 for reconstruction or renovation of three of its fire stations. During its adoption of the 2026 budget, elected officials added a relocation of Fire Station 4 to a planned bond issuance this fiscal year, replacing Fire Station 1 off Spalding Drive and enlarging Fire Station 3 off Raider Drive. The city’s fiscal year runs July 1-June 30. Fire Station 1 at 1425 Spalding Drive was constructed in 1968, and the city says the building is now obsolete and in need of replacement. The city completed a new fire station at Spalding Drive and Mount Vernon Road last July, providing the city’s panhandle region with its own four-person engine company and driving down response times. Fire Station 2 opened in 2022, replacing the original building constructed in 1969. Fire Station 3 across from Riverwood High School was constructed in 2002.
