JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The Jamestown Rural Fire Department (JRFD) completed their new firehall earlier this year and had plans for an open house before COVID-19.

An official open house has now been set for Saturday, September 12th from 10 AM to 2 PM. The previous building at 205 3rd Avenue NW had gone through several additions since the JRFD was established in 1964. It had been 30 years since their last addition.

The building, previously occupied by CenturyLink at 1209 9th Street SE, provides ample room for the department as their equipment and volunteer numbers grow.

The building and remodel cost around $2.8 million, most of which was funding by a USDA Loan from the Community Facilities Loan and Grant program.
