Open house planned at new fire station

City leaders are opening the doors to the community’s newest fire station at an open house this weekend.

The public is invited from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday to tour the recently completed Fire Station No. 5 and the adjacent administrative office building for Lawrence-Douglas County Fire & Medical. The station and offices are at 19th Street and Stewart Avenue.

The open house will include tours of the equipment bays, sleeping and fitness areas, and administrative offices.
