Officials cut a red ribbon on the front entrance of the station, located at 398 W. County Road 700 North, before offering tours of the expanded station and then using a firehose during a wetting ceremony to spray the new ambulance, which was designed by the department’s paramedics. The renovation, said Chief Bill Lundy, essentially doubled the lounge and kitchen area at the station, as well as adding three bunkrooms, remodeled offices, additional storage and other amenities. The Portage Township Trustee’s Office used a $1 million bond issue to pay for the work.
