Saranac Lake Volunteer Fire Department Driver Rick Yorkey pets “Smokey” the firehouse dalmatian during an open house at the fire station on Tuesday. While the public saw the outdated, dilapidated and cramped conditions there ahead of a informational meeting on the proposed new emergency services building, many of them took the time to say hi to Smokey. She has been with the SLVFD for 15 years. Coverage of the informational meeting will be in Thursday’s Enterprise. (Enterprise photo — Aaron Marbone)
