CONWAY — And then there were four. As Sunday turned to Monday, Jan. 1, the Redstone Fire Department became part of the Center Conway Fire Department.
With Center Conway absorbing Redstone, Conway is down to four independent fire departments. They are Center Conway, East Conway, North Conway, and Conway Village. Redstone Fire Department was formed in 1956.
