CHARLOTTE — Charlotte city leaders and the fire chief have broken ground on Firehouse 46, a new fire station on Miranda Road in northwest Charlotte.
The new facility aims to alleviate the high call volume currently handled by surrounding stations. The project will feature a more than 14,000-square-foot, two-story building with three bays.
