8:00 AM | Tuesday, May 9, 2023

Crystal Mayor Jim Adams sat down with Dave Kiser to talk about the city’s many upcoming events in this Crystal Mayor’s Minutes.

West Metro Fire-Rescue Celebrates 25th Anniversary

The West Metro Fire-Rescue District is celebrating its 25th anniversary this July. Celebrate it with the fire department at an open house on Thursday, July 6 from 5 to 8 p.m. at Fire Station No. 3 in New Hope. The open house will include fire and rescue demonstrations and displays, an obstacle course for the kids, food trucks, and more.

Adams said the West Metro Fire-Rescue District is a very busy department, typically responding to about 1,800 fire and medical calls every year in Crystal and New Hope.
