"That‘s why women can be part of fire services as well," she exclaimed once safely at ground level. For her part, mayor Ann Mulvale did her best to stir things up, sliding down the fireâ€"pole skirt and all after getting a few last minute pointers from Guest. Due to the size and noisy nature of the crowd, Brown made his comâ€" ments through a bullhorn provided by deputy fire chief Ted Guest. All the excitement was due in part to a mock rescue operation in which trainces hauled a dummy "victim" from the second floor and down a ladder to the waiting medical team. "This has been a long time coming but it is well worth the wait," said Mark Brown, Ward 4 councillor and chairman of the Fire Station 6 Steering Committee. "Support from the community has been a key element in the construction of this facility." The event was a celebration of community, with the fire hall as the focal point for families to gather and be a part of the latest addition to their neighborhood. The interior was packed with children, representatives from area fire departments, councillors, Town management and plenty of red balloons. There were also several dalmatians â€" both real and stuffed â€" and a vintage pumper covered with children.

Gould then presented Brown with a fire department badge as a gift for his support in making the station a reality. Following comments by archiâ€" tect Thomas Brown (Station 6 is the 37th fire hall he‘s designed) Father Leonard Strohmeyer blessed the facility. It was then time for Mulvale, Gould and Thomas Brown to unveil the official plaque. After that the mayor donned a silver helmet and took part in a longâ€"standing firefighting tradition: the hoseâ€"cutting ceremony. (A ribbon just won‘t do.) Wielding an axe, Mulvale took seven whacks before it finalâ€" ly split in two. There was no shortage of people Friday for the grand opening of the Glen Abbey firestation. Aside from the usual speeches and goodies, there was also a chance to test out the equipment, like 3 1/2 yearâ€"old Andrew Dennis.
