Westwood Fire Department Open House Postponed to October 26th

Thanks to the Town of Westwood for sharing this news with Westwood Minute.

The Westwood Fire Department is rescheduling its open house at Fire Station 1 (637 High Street), originally scheduled for Saturday, October 19th, to the new date of Saturday, October 26th, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. 

The day will feature a Touch a Truck event, where children will be able to meet firefighters, learn about the fire station, and climb aboard fire engines and ladder trucks.

Residents are encouraged to attend and take a tour of Fire Station 1 and learn more about the town’s plan to build a new main fire station on High St. Westwood Fire Chief Steven Lund and Assistant Fire Chief Colin McCarthy will conduct the tours and be available to answer questions about the need for a new main station.

The building, initially built in 1948, has multiple structural deficiencies and no longer meets safety standards. At next spring’s town meeting, residents will be asked to vote on funding a new station at the existing site.
