The fire department also touts it its first net zero station fire station, meaning it produces a net zero in carbon emissions per the department.

Fire Station No. 4 gives the southeast side of Ann Arbor fire protection. The department credited the mayor and the City Council for their support of the project.

A grand opening ceremony is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 30 at 1 p.m.
