Morris residents will have a chance to show their appreciation for the city's long-serving fire chief on Saturday.

From 1 to 3 p.m., the Morris Fire and Ambulance Protection District will hold an open house to celebrate the retirement of Chief Bob Coleman at Station 2, 2301 Ashton Road.

Tracey Steffes, the current assistant fire chief who will take on Coleman's title July 1, said the event is going to be low-key, with cake and refreshments and a chance to informally meet with Coleman. At 2 p.m., attendees will be able to make brief remarks to Coleman in front of the group.
