The Sierra Vista Fire & Medical Services will host a ribbon cutting and open house on Friday, Oct. 14, from 10 a.m. to noon to celebrate the completion of the department’s new emergency medical services substation located on the northeast corner of Buffalo Soldier Trail and 7th Street.
The public is invited to attend the open house and tour the station, located at 2051 N. 7th Street. The celebration will begin with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. Additional parking is available across 7th Street at Tompkins Park.
The substation was funded in part by a $1.4 million Defense Community Infrastructure Program grant from the Department of Defense Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation. The location offers rapid access to Fort Huachuca, enabling the EMS crew at the station to respond if the one located on post is already on a call. It will also improve EMS response to the many soldiers and families living off post.
