Longview Fire Station’s Christmas Cross Comes Down

LONGVIEW – A protest has caused the Longview Fire Department to remove a cross from in front of a fire station. The cross went up at Station 6 last year along with the Christmas lights. But after complaints, the cross has come down this year. Longview Spokesman Shawn Hara told KETK, “displays that are religious of nature that are placed on public property face challenges, so our practice is that we don’t do that.” But today, there is still a cross in front of the fire station. A family across the street from the fire station put one up. They said they did it to show that they appreciate what the fire department does for the community.
