Chincoteague's 1930 fire station on Main Street is for sale, as the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company prepares to move into a brand-new, up-to-date station.
For the list price of $950,000, someone can purchase the historic brick building at 4028 Main Street, where the volunteer fire company has been based for as long as Chincoteague's current volunteer firefighters can remember.
The fire company owns and cares for the herd of wild Chincoteague ponies on Assateague, and it holds the annual Pony Penning week activities that attract thousands of visitors to the island each July, as well as the annual carnival.
"This is the only station that our members today have ever known. It's going to be bittersweet," said Denise Bowden, Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company spokesperson.
