Grey Lynn's new fire station opened for business this morning. Firefighters on duty overnight were the last to occupy the station at the corner of Ponsonby Road and Lincoln Street... and this morning's crew transferred to the new state-of-the-art station. It was formally blessed in a dawn ceremony last Friday. Firefighters have today returned to Williamson Avenue after a break of nearly 100 years. From 1889 until 1921 the district's horse-drawn fire appliance was housed in purpose-built premises a kilometre away at the other end of the street, on the corner of Rose Road: the building survives, now a restaurant.
