Garden City Fire Department reports progress on Station 3; crews responded to several grass fires
Summary
The Garden City Fire Department reported October and November activity, including multiple grass/spot fires and construction progress at Station 3, which is expected to open in mid-2025.
Garden City Fire Department Chief/representative Kenny Smith briefed the Finney County commission on Oct.–Nov. activity during the Dec. 16 meeting, describing several grass and spot fires in October and construction progress at Station 3.
Smith said October included multiple spot fires along Railroad Avenue and a larger wildfire southwest of Holcomb that burned an estimated 50–80 acres; Holcomb and Kearny County fire departments assisted. The department also held public fire-prevention events and in-house leadership training in November.
Smith reported progress on Station 3 exterior glazing, garage doors and interior tile work. He said the project timeline had previously targeted May (year not specified in the meeting excerpt) but staff hoped for earlier completion. Commissioners expressed support for the project and appreciation for mutual aid during the grass fires.
The report was informational; no county action or vote was required.
