A fire station in Breckenridge, Colorado, was evacuated after a woman went there to dispose of a box of World War II-era hand grenades and bazooka rounds, according to a report.

Breckenridge police chief Dennis McLaughlin said the woman contacted police saying she had some old ammunition to dispose of. Officers directed her to the fire station, where they often collect unwanted bullets. Officials were surprised when the woman opened her trunk to reveal a small cache of antique explosives she had received from her grandfather.

More than 275 people attended a recent dedication ceremony for the newest fire station in Kennewick, Washington.

The fire department’s goal is to respond to emergency medical calls in four minutes and fires in five minutes. But until the opening of Fire Station 5 Monday, travel time to many local areas was closer to eight.

The 12,500-square-foot station fire station has living quarters for six and space to park three to four fire and emergency vehicles. It reportedly cost $3.775M.

The new station has polished concrete floors, long-lasting LED lights, and a low-water garden that the Benton County Conservation District helped install. There iss also a community classroom that the residents can use for meetings of up to 15 people.

“We’re trying to build a station we can carry into the future,” said Neil Hines, operations chief for the Kennewick Fire Department.
