VIDEO/PHOTOS: Instead of a ribbon cutting, the new fire station number 3 in south Twin Falls was officially opened with a hose decoupling.
This ten-thousand foot facility on Washington Street South will more than triple the size of the old Fire Station No. 3 that is is replacing.
The public got its first look, plus some snacks, drinks and a tour of the new station.
"We have computers around the perimeter and then we have meetings at the table and then we have two screens here that we have a class or we need a zoom conversations," Brooks said.
This new facility will have a clean side and a dirty side, allowing firefighters to keep contaminated and potentially toxic gear away from living areas.
"Once you get back from an incident, they can take their turnout off, clean them up before they enter back into the clean areas," Brooks said.
