BARTLETT — An open house will be hosted from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday at the old Bartlett Village Fire Station by a feasibility study committee to outline a proposal to repair or replace the station with a new one.
“We invite everyone to come out and meet with us and take a look and ask questions,” said John Difeo, a lieutenant with the 24-member on-call Bartlett Fire Department and one of eight to man the village garage/station
