The doors of the Rochester ambulance branch were opened up to locals on Friday, February 28, welcoming them into the new space.
The community opening gave residents from Rochester and surrounds the chance to tour the facility and meet some of the AV members.
The branch features a three-bay garage, two rest-and-recline areas, long-term accommodation, a training room, a fully equipped kitchen, car parking and improved security.
Russell Major brought a photo from his days driving an ambulance in 1958.
