Ambulance District director Charlie Anderson and assistant director Linda Ellis cut the ribbon to celebrate the district's new home at 2614 Fairway Drive in Fulton.

The ambulance district moved into the 19,000-square-foot facility back in January and it features space for four frontline ambulances, a supervisor-response vehicle and a mass casualty-incident trailer. The facility also includes a large training area, a boardroom, a fitness room, additional space for personnel and administrative offices.
