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.

To celebrate the opening, the public is invited to an Open House on Saturday, Dec. 6, from 4 to 6 p.m. Visitors will be able to tour the new facility, meet District #7 personnel, and learn more about the equipment and resources housed on-site. Guests will also be treated to chili and cinnamon rolls, a longtime Kansas community favorite.

Reno County officials are encouraging residents from across the area to stop by and help mark this significant addition to the county’s emergency response infrastructure.

“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.
