Decatur Enhances Emergency and Industrial Response with New Vessel and Dock Improvements
Decatur Fire & Rescue will launch Marine 1 on May 7, enhancing emergency response capabilities. The Decatur-Morgan County Port Authority is set to receive $500K for dock improvements to support United Launch Alliance operations.

Marine 1, a new rescue vessel for Decatur Fire & Rescue, will be launched on May 7, featuring two 350-horsepower engines and SONAR technology. This investment aims to bolster emergency response for water-related incidents.
Concurrently, the Decatur-Morgan County Port Authority is allocated $500,000 from the state for enhancements to a dock on the Tennessee River used by United Launch Alliance. The upgrades include a new tie-off point and a walkway to accommodate the arrival of the SpaceShip transportation vessel, expected this summer. These developments reflect commitment to both public safety and industrial support.
