Roanoke (VA) Residents Visit Fire Station Before Demolition

 
 

"Any time you lose a structure you have sentimental value to, there's some sadness," Roanoke Fire EMS Chief David Hoback said. "If there was any way we could do it other than this, we would have."  

The historic firehouse will come down after firefighters move out in the next few weeks, but elements from the old building will be salvaged for the new building. Bricks from the old Fire Station 7 will be used to build one of the walls in the new fire station, and the doors from the historic firehouse will be installed in the new one.

 
 
The oanoke Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department hosted an open house of its Fire Station 7 on Saturday. The firehouse was built in Grandin Village in 1922, but it will soon be replaced with a new fire station where the old one now stands.
