In Port Huron, the old Central Fire Station, a 65-year community landmark, is being torn down to make way for new possibilities along the Black River. The site was cleared of asbestos and approved for teardown late last year. The demolition, which started May 19th and will wrap up by June 23rd, follows the fire department’s move to a modern 10th Street station last August. The outdated 515 River St. building couldn’t meet today’s needs, so the city’s giving retired firefighters engraved bricks to honor their service.
