The Department of Public Safety has announced that Station 3, located on Columbus Avenue, will be reopening this weekend after major upgrades and renovations. The initial renovations needed for the health and safety of the firefighters began in April. The scope was extended to include further upgrades, including a partition for female firefighters to have their own sleeping quarters. Additionally, with the increasing needs in the community for rescue (ambulance) services, the City of Pawtucket purchased a fourth rescue truck that will begin to service the residents of Pawtucket this weekend.
“Our residents’ safety is our top priority. The vast majority of calls for service in this community are for emergency medical services,” said Mayor Donald R. Grebien.
