PHOTOS: Ribbon Cut on New Firehouse

The Southampton Fire Department officially open new Hampton Road substation.

The new Hampton Road firehouse, a substation that replaced a smaller facility at the same location, was opened with fanfare on Saturday afternoon.

Fire chiefs and assistant chiefs of past and present, Southampton Village Mayor Mark Epley and village trustees were on hand for the opening ceremony. The new building meets OSHA requirements, and can accommodate large fire apparatus that was barely fitting into the substation that once stood there.
