Fire Station 4 open after yearslong design, building effort Columbus Fire and Rescue firefighters cut the ribbon to celebrate the opening of the new Fire Station No. 4, which features more than 17,000 square feet of space. The new station replaces the antiquated station located just down the road at Airline and McCrary Road. Slim Smith/Dispatch Staff The new Columbus Fire and Rescue Fire Station No. 4 is a straight shot down Airline Road, but the road to its creation was a long, sometimes bumpy one, marked by detours and abrupt stops. On Wednesday, the fire department had something to celebrate, hosting a ribbon-cutting at the sparkling new station six years after its initial plans were drawn.
