You can get a sneak peak of the new Albert Lea fire station this weekend as part of Fire Prevention Week. The community is invited to an open house scheduled for this Saturday [Oct. 9] at the station, on S. Newton Ave.. In addition to small group tours, people can come meet the firefighters, and there will be equipment demonstrations and activities for children. Public tours are also slated for 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Oct. 10. The station opened in July 2020, but because of the COVID-19 pandemic, this will be the first major public open house at the new facility. Masks will be required.
