Kudos to the Jacksonville Fire Rescue Department for launching the new Marine Station 68 in Mandarin! This cutting-edge facility promises round-the-clock marine services to Southside, NAS Jax, the Buckman Bridge, and Julington Creek, significantly slashing response times for boaters and those in urgent need.

Mayor Donna Deegan highlighted at Wednesday's ribbon cutting, "We've been feeling the absence of marine coverage in this part of town for a while. Previously, it took a marine unit from Metropolitan Park at least 25 minutes to reach the Mandarin and Buckman Bridge area."

Impressively, the City earmarked $9.5 million for Marine 68, but through some savvy maneuvering, only $3 million was spent to get it up and running. The savings? They're funneling it into another station, which is a win for everyone, especially our taxpayers.
