San Juan celebrates opening of new fire station
The city of San Juan celebrated the Tuesday opening of their new fire station.
The $3 million station is located on Nebraska Street and can house six fire engines.
It took a year and a half to build, and San Juan Fire Chief Tirso Garza said the new station was needed.
“The need was there," Garza said. “The city is growing — we got seven new subdivisions coming in so with that in mind we have to provide the service."
The city is also celebrating the San Juan Fire Department’s 100th anniversary.
