Dare County and the town of Kill Devil Hills will host a ribbon cutting ceremony Monday to celebrate the recent completion of a new building for Kill Devil Hills Fire Department Station 14 and Dare County EMS Station 1.
The 3 p.m. event will feature several speakers, including Susan Gard Nelson, daughter of former Kill Devil Hills Fire Department Chief William “Bill” Gard. Her father served as fire chief from 1973 until his retirement in 1994. The fire department side of the building will be dedicated in his honor.
Following the ribbon cutting ceremony, an open house will be held until 7 p.m., providing members of the community with the opportunity to take self-guided tours of the new facility at 1630 N. Croatan Highway and 1628 N. Croatan Highway in Kill Devil Hills.
In addition to self-guided tours, the open house will also feature ambulance and fire apparatus displays, “Stop the Bleed” training, “Hands Only” CPR training, free blood pressure checks, and various handouts and children’s activities provided by Kill Devil Hills Fire Department and Dare County EMS staff members. Light refreshments will also be served.
