The Tullahoma Fire Department announced this past week that Fire Station 2 received some renovations thanks to its community partners.

“The Tullahoma Fire Department would like to extend its sincere appreciation to Sherwin-Williams, Brock Edwards, Quincy Whitworth, Corey Tanner, and Sunrise Painting for their generous support and contributions to the renovation of Fire Station 2,” TFD officials said in a statement. “Through the generosity of Sherwin-Williams, all paint and painting supplies for the project were donated, including paint for the station’s walls, doors, and trim. The donation represents an estimated savings of more than $2,000 to the taxpayers of Tullahoma.”

The department also recognized Matt Turk of Sunrise Painting for donating his labor and expertise to the project, noting his contribution alone provided an estimated $9,000 in labor savings to the community.

“Special thanks are extended to Sherwin-Williams Winchester Store Manager Quincy Whitworth and Sherwin-Williams Tullahoma Store Manager Cory Tanner for their leadership, assistance, and commitment to making this project a success,” TFD officials said. “Their support, along with the efforts of Brock Edwards and numerous Sherwin-Williams employees who volunteered their personal time, helped transform Fire Station 2, while saving taxpayers’ dollars.”

Members of the Tullahoma Fire Department worked alongside volunteers to repaint the interior of Fire Station 2, creating a refreshed, professional environment for the firefighters who serve Tullahoma citizens every day.

“This project is an outstanding example of how local businesses and community members can come together to support public safety,” TFD officials said. “The generosity shown by Sherwin-Williams, Brock Edwards, Quincy Whitworth, Corey Tanner, Matt Turk, and the many volunteers involved resulted in more than $11,000 in combined savings for the taxpayers of Tullahoma.”

The Tullahoma Fire Department said it was grateful for this partnership and the continued support of the community, and stating that these kinds of contributions are “a tremendous asset to the department and help us better serve the citizens of Tullahoma.”

“Thank you for your commitment to our firefighters and our community,” TFD officials said.
