The Hendersonville City Council and Hendersonville Fire Department are inviting the community to the grand opening of the new Fire Station 1 at 1 p.m. Friday, Sept. 20.
Parking for the ceremony is available on the street as well as the St. James Episcopal Church (766 N. Main Street) and Bruce Drysdale Elementary School (271 Bearcat Boulevard) parking lots. Onsite parking will be reserved for attendees with mobility challenges and dignitary parking accessible via the lower lot entrance on North Main Street.
Fire Station 1 replaces the previous station that City Council said was no longer adequate for the growing Hendersonville Fire Department. The station houses three companies and their battalion chiefs, living quarters, restrooms and shower facilities in addition to administrative offices, life safety division offices and training room.
