Langford has completed the latest stage of its fire rescue master plan.
Langford Fire Station 2 on Happy Valley Road, is now fully staffed with career firefighters and will operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Chief Chris Aubrey says this will reduce response times and increase the city's overall emergency response capacity.
To celebrate, Langford Fire Rescue and the City of Langford will host a free community event on Thursday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Langford Fire Station 2.
