Future
Charlotte Fire Chief, Jon Hannan, continues preparation for the future growth of the City of Charlotte.
- Possible sites for future fire stations are in northwestern Mecklenburg County around Beatties Ford Road and Miranda Road and an area west of Charlotte-Douglas Airport.
- In the fall of 2010, began the planning for a new Charlotte Fire Department Headquarters. This two-story building will be located just north of center city. The CFD Command Staff and Administration will operate from the new quarters with the potential for other key divisions to join. The building is due to open August 2013.

Famous quotes containing the word future:
“He who asks fortune-tellers the future unwittingly forfeits an inner intimation of coming events that is a thousand times more exact than anything they may say. He is impelled by inertia, rather than curiosity, and nothing is more unlike the submissive apathy with which he hears his fate revealed than the alert dexterity with which the man of courage lays hands on the future.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
“As the mother of a son, I do not accept that alienation from me is necessary for his discovery of himself. As a woman, I will not cooperate in demeaning womanly things so that he can be proud to be a man. I like to think the women in my son’s future are counting on me.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
“Autonomy means women defining themselves and the values by which they will live, and beginning to think of institutional arrangements which will order their environment in line with their needs.... Autonomy means moving out from a world in which one is born to marginality, to a past without meaning, and a future determined by others—into a world in which one acts and chooses, aware of a meaningful past and free to shape one’s future.”
—Gerda Lerner (b. 1920)
