Open House for New Fire Station No. 3
Saturday, July 30, 10am-2pm
July 15, 2011
The opening of a new firehouse is always a very special occasion for any community. On July 29, 2011, Arlington will officially dedicate its newest firehouse, Fire Station No. 3, located in the Cherrydale neighborhood.
The new fire station is a state-of-the-art facility that meets the needs of our growing community and supports our firefighters. With greater capacity for emergency response equipment and a green, sustainable design, the station is a real-life example of Arlington’s commitment to community service and to the environment.
Open House: Saturday, July 30, 10-2
The Arlington County Fire Department (ACFD) invites the public to its Open House on Saturday, July 30, 10am-2pm. Bring the whole family – you can tour the station, meet the firefighters and check out the equipment.
You’re also welcome to join us for the official dedication ceremony on Friday, July 29, at 2pm. As part of the event, the Fire Station 3 crew will conduct a ceremonial uncoupling of a fire hose, which serves as the appropriate “ribbon-cutting” for this special building.
