Fire crews are getting ready to move into the new Kittitas Valley Fire and Rescue station in Ellensburg. Firefighters say the new fire station is six blocks within 40 percent of the fire department's calls for emergencies. It'll be used for about 30 career firefighters, 100 volunteers, six college residents and more. Fire crews are hoping to start moving in next week with a grand opening at the station on June 4th. "It's going to be a very functional building that will be easy to maintain and we're very happy with the way it has turned out," said Fire Chief John Sinclair. The $6 million project came after firefighters and police wanted to upgrade from sharing the same building on Pearl Street due to staffing needs.
