You can get a behind-the-scenes look at where firefighters sleep, eat and work on Saturday when Mountain Vista Fire District dedicates its new fire station and administrative office.
A ceremony of Station 610 at 1175 W. Magee Road will be from 10:30 to 11 a.m. and tours will run until about 1:30 p.m.
The $4.2 million station began operating in the middle of March. The 19,500-square-foot facility has meeting rooms for the public as well as a modern kitchen, big bunk rooms, and large bays.
Station 610 is the district's second station.
Its first station, No. 620, at 9310 N. Shannon Road, was dedicated Jan. 8, 2011.
The fire district was formed in the fall of 2008 when the Heritage Hills Fire District, the North Ranch/Linda Vista Fire District and the La Canada Fire District merged, according to Mountain Vista's website.
