City of Gresham to host Fire Station Open House and Story Time event

The City of Gresham invites the community for a story time reading with Gresham police and firefighters. Enjoy refreshments, explore Fire Station 73, and learn about the ways the Fire and Police Levy is making a positive impact on emergency and public safety services for our community.

What: Gresham Fire Station Open House and Story Time
Where: Fire Station 73, 2301 SW Pleasant View Dr., Gresham, OR 97080
When: Saturday, April 25, 10:00 am - noon

Each story time will feature a picture book for younger audiences, and there will be fun activities for older children. Attendees are also encouraged to check out public safety vehicles and equipment, as well as chat with police and firefighters about what it means to serve the Gresham community.

"We are committed to building as many opportunities for our residents to stay connected with us as possible," says Gresham Fire Chief Jeffrey Hairston. "These open houses are a great way to bring the community together for some fun and allow us to share important updates about their fire and police departments."

This open house opportunity is the third in a series of four engagements the City is hosting at Gresham fire stations through spring 2026. The next Fire Station Open House is currently scheduled for Saturday, May 30 at Fire Station 72. More information on these and other Gresham events can be found at GreshamOregon.gov/events.
