HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Reno County Emergency Medical Services will mark the grand opening of two newly constructed stations with community open house events this month.

The first event is scheduled for Friday, April 17, from 10 a.m. to noon at the new station at 211 W. 5th Ave. in Hutchinson. A second open house will follow Friday, April 24, from 4 to 6 p.m. at the station located at 107 W. Fair St. in Arlington.
