Powey Lane station manager Paul Watts said: “We are looking forward to meeting the community and showing them around the station. Alongside ‘traditional’ fire engines, a number of specialist vehicles are based there, able to deal with risks specific to the local areas of Chester and Ellesmere Port, such as heritage buildings and industrial complexes, which our visitors should find very interesting.”
