Renovations Completed at Valley Fire Station (NM)

Recent renovations to the Valley Fire Department Station 1 here have made life more comfortable for its volunteer firefighters. The renovations, which total more than $870,000 in cost, are nearly complete, and firefighters returned to the station about two weeks ago. The public can see the changes during a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 2 p.m.
