For years, the south part of Wichita has been without adequate fire protection. One of Councilman Skelton's major goals was the building of a fire station in the South City area. In 2009, the hard work became a reality, with the completion of Station 22.

The Hydraulic and Wassall fire station is providing a 4-minute response time to a long time underserved area known as South City. Councilman Skelton gives his thanks to the many citizens that helped advocate for this long-time need.
