New Beulah Fire Station Groundbreaking Set; May Be Named ‘The Bradshaw-McNair Fire Station’
April 27, 2022
Escambia County is set to break ground on the new Beulah Fire Station on May 6, and it will likely be named in honor of two local heroes.
“It will be my intention to dedicate the facility to two men and their families who have sacrificed so much over the years to this community and this station,” Escambia County Commissioner Jeff Bergosh wrote on his blog.
He intends to ask the commission to approve the name “The Bradshaw-McNair Fire Station” in honor of Chief Dwain S. Bradshaw who died in the line of duty in November 2019, and Chief Steve McNair who dedicated over 50 years to fire service in Beulah.
A paid fire crew has staffed the current Beulah Fire Station since October 2021 from 7 a.m. until 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Volunteers cover responses at other times.
The groundbreaking is scheduled for Friday, May 6 at 11:30 a.m. and will be open to the public. The new station will be built directly behind the current fire station on Nine Mile Road.

Congrats to them both! Us mill employees also knew Steve McNair from the papermill. Great guy, well deserved achievement to have ur name used at a place u put all ur passion into. I take my hat off to Bradshaw also, the man sacrificed his life doing what he was born to do. Thanks for yalls community service!
These guys gave it their best. Time for us tax payers, politicians, county, state, and federal , administrator’s to do the same. Some gave some, some gave it all. May the Gods bless them for their service.
This is a wonderful honor.
A perfect dedication to 2 caring men and thier families.
Every station has multiple “Heros”. Why not build a permanent Fire Services Memorial and have someplace to be able to go and pay respects/honor Escambia firefighters?
I 2nd that, this is a proper and deserving name in my opinion.
I think that a great name for the station !
