The City of Wilder (KY) will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its new station, located at 522 Licking Pike, on Saturday at 4 p.m., reports rcnky.com. The station has been functional since fall of 2020, but, due to COVID-19, a proper ribbon-cutting ceremony was delayed.
The 14,000-square-foot station is equipped with administrative offices, living quarters, four apparatus bays, a vehicle exhaust removal system, frequent ambient air changeover, separation of the station into zones, decontamination areas, and other features that are designed to reduce post-incident and daily exposure to carcinogens.
The facility replaces the two existing stations, located at the north and south ends of the city.
