The new Edsall Road Fire Station, in the Springfield area of Mason District, has opened after a three-year, $12 million project to build a new station at the same location, AnnandaleToday.com reported. Just a small section of the old building remains.
During construction, the 11-member staff of Fire Station #26 were housed in a temporary building across the street on Carolina Place, the report said. The old station was heavily damaged in a fire in 2017, according to the report.
Members of the public are invited to visit the new Edsall Road station – and all 39 fire stations in the county – on Open House day, Oct. 15, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. The theme for this year’s Open House is “Fire won’t wait. Plan your escape.”
