Things have come full circle for Mark Burdick, the Glendale fire chief.
Years ago, as a young firefighter, Burdick used to battle grassfires on a vacant lot on the east side of 52nd Avenue just south of Glendale Avenue.
Burdick recently returned to the site, across the street from the city's abandoned sugar-beet factory, to participate in the ceremonial groundbreaking on a $4.7 million fire station.
