The Springfield Fire Department is set to unveil its brand new, state-of-the-art fire station.
The department will host a pair of events to formally open the new Station 8, located at 600 Rickard Road. There will be a ribbon cutting ceremony and an open house two days later. The open house will include tours, refreshments, engagement with firefighters and a chance to learn about career opportunities within the Springfield Fire Department.
The ribbon cutting will take place May 30 at 2 p.m. with the open house taking place on June 1 from 9 a.m. to noon. The public is invited to attend both events.
