City of Hays
On Monday, April 22, the Hays Fire Department will have a grand opening for Fire Station No. 3 at 1732 W. 41st St. from 3 to 5 p.m.
The public is invited to attend, and light refreshments will be served. Members of the Hays Fire Department will be on hand to give tours of the new facility.
The Chamber in Hays will assist with a firehose uncoupling, which is traditional for a new fire station, instead of a ribbon cutting. This ceremony will take place at 3 p.m. following comments.
Fire Station No. 3 was established to ensure short response times to emergencies as the city continues to develop to the northwest. Fire department staff will be split between the new location and Fire Station No. 1 at 1507 Main St.
The design concept of the new building allows it to seamlessly fit in with the existing neighborhood. The facility is just more than 12,000 square feet and is designed to be staffed by five firefighters.
PWC Inc. of Hays served as the general contractor.
Fire Station No. 2 is at the Hays Regional Airport and is staffed according to the commercial flight schedule.
