Hurricane Florence flooded the town-owned fire station building used by the Trenton Volunteer Fire Department. The station was located near the Trent River and the Brock Mill Pond. The building had previously flooded as a result of Hurricane Floyd and other heavy rain events. Because the station was in the floodplain, the Trenton VFD proposed relocating the building to higher ground. Insurance proceeds and Trenton Volunteer Fire Department funds were used to purchase land and for replacement contents, including furniture, appliances, and fitness equipment. Golden LEAF Disaster Recovery Grant Program funds were used for engineering/design, site preparation, and construction of the new station.
