Colorado Springs, CO - Colorado Springs Fire Department (CSFD) officials cut the ribbon on Fire Station #23 on Tuesday, November 1, 2022 during an open house event for the community.

The new station merges two city services into one building, radio repair shop for the entire city fleet (police, fire and other) and fire station coverage for the southeast part of the city.

This much-need station will respond to calls in the Knob Hill and surrounding neighborhoods, it has already made a positive impact, shortening response times in the area.

The event was attended by Mayor John Suthers, and three city councilmen, Wayne Williams, Tom Strand and Dave Donelson and hosted by Colorado Springs Fire Chief Randy Royal.
