TURON, Kan. — Reno County officials have announced that the new District #7 Fire Station in Turon is complete, operational, and ready to serve the western portion of the county.
The long-awaited facility marks a major milestone in strengthening emergency services and improving response capabilities for residents. County leaders say the upgraded station will enhance efficiency, provide better support for volunteer firefighters, and help meet the growing needs of the community.

“This is a wonderful step forward for Reno County,” the county shared in the announcement, adding that they are excited to showcase the new station and thank the many people who helped make the project possible.
