Northern Arizona Consolidated Fire District reopened its fire station on north Stockton Hill Road in October, one of the goals laid out by Fire Chief Wayne Eder when he was hired in April. The fire station was closed for several years due to budget constraints. The fire district’s staff was joined by volunteers hosting an open house on Nov. 18 at Fire Station 33 at Stockton Hill Road and Anchor Drive, serving food and drinks to about 70 people who dropped by to visit the fire station. Volunteer firefighters conducted wildland firefighter training during the day, which gave visitors the opportunity to watch the training and ask questions about volunteering. Firefighting equipment and apparatus were on display so people could see where their tax dollars are spent.
