THE eSikhaleni fire station should soon be operational.
uMhlatuze Municipality Communications Manager Mdu Ncalane said 93% of the building has been completed.
Progress on the facility was delayed owing to issues with the appointed contractor, but according to the city these are now a thing of the past.
The municipality has spent in excess of R16-million on the state-of-the-art fire station, which will improve response times to eSikhaleni communities.
