On Tuesday, May 19, 2026, the Englewood Fire Department held its official Grand Opening and ribbon cutting at their brand-new headquarters, 579 S. Indiana Ave. Attendees were delighted as they explored the new space, chatted with the Chief and the team, and enjoyed some light refreshments.

“We’re excited to show the public our new headquarters building,” says Fire Chief Kevin Easton. “The move to 579 S. Indiana Ave. makes us more accessible to the public and locates us in the center of town.”

The Englewood Fire Department is also collecting school supplies for the 21st Annual Englewood Back-to-School Bash. Even though school isn’t out yet, they’re already gearing up for the next school year. As an official collection site, they’re making sure local kids start the new school year with everything they need. Pencils, notebooks, folders, backpacks; every single donation matters.
