Exciting News for Hastings, Florida: Fire Station 21 and Sheriff’s Office Substation Now Open!



Hastings, Florida — October 24, 2026
Hastings has another reason to celebrate! Today, I had the pleasure of attending the grand opening of St. Johns County Fire Station 21 and the Sheriff’s Office Substation, located at 4630 Melanie Street in Hastings.
It was wonderful to attend this special occasion, see the new facility firsthand, and join fellow community members in celebrating an important addition to our town.
A Welcome Addition to the Hastings Community
The opening of Fire Station 21 and the Sheriff’s Office Substation represents an important investment in public safety for Hastings and the surrounding area. Having dedicated fire rescue and sheriff’s office facilities in our community is something residents can appreciate and take pride in.
The event brought together firefighters, sheriff’s deputies, department leadership, and cadets to mark the occasion. Seeing the people who dedicate their time and careers to protecting our communities was a great reminder of the importance of these public servants and the work they do every day.
Celebrating the People Who Serve Our Community
Beyond the new building and equipment, what stood out to me was the opportunity to recognize the men and women who serve our community. From emergency responders to law enforcement officers and the next generation of public safety professionals, their commitment makes a difference in the lives of local residents.
A heartfelt thank-you to St. Johns County Fire Rescue, the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office, and everyone who helped bring this project to completion. We appreciate your service and dedication to keeping our community safe.
Another Reason to Be Proud of Hastings, Florida
As someone who lives and works in the Hastings area, I enjoy seeing positive developments that contribute to our community. Hastings has its own distinct character, with a strong connection to rural Florida, agriculture, open land, and a close-knit community spirit.
Investments in essential services are an important part of building a strong community and supporting the people who call this area home.
Whether you have lived in Hastings for decades or are just discovering this part of St. Johns County, it is encouraging to see continued attention to the needs of our community.
Congratulations to everyone involved in the opening of Fire Station 21 and the Sheriff’s Office Substation! It was a pleasure to attend and share in this exciting day for Hastings.

What my clients are saying  

Astrid went above and beyond for the sale of our home in Hastings FL! She had wonderful ideas about how to spruce up the outside and organize the inside to make the home more appealing. She was very hands on and handled many things for us as we live in another state. She is kind, trustworthy and extremely professional. We were so fortunate to have her!

 

~ nydandegirl

Astrid is extremely knowledgeable about the areas she serves, knows practical information that other realtors do not possess, and makes every effort to keep in communication along the buying process. I've worked with several realtors in purchasing properties, and none come close to Astrid's expertise. I've worked with her on several transactions, and would not hesitate to consult her again.

I was in need of a realtor in Hastings, Florida. Not living in Florida, I was concerned that selling my property would be a difficult task. I needed someone that I could trust and knew what they were doing. Astrid was recommended to me by an acquaintance based on her experience as a Accredited Land Consultant. Upon my first contact with her I knew she was the right person for the task. She was friendly, professional, and very responsive to all my needs. She took me through the process step by step making it a very easy and pleasant experience. I would recommend Astrid to anyone in need of a highly skilled and professional relator.

Astrid is very professional, has great communication skills and will always keep you updated with the status of the transaction. Because of her expertise in the area she serves, she is extremely helpful with navigating through the entire process. She will be straight with you about the best approach, not just tell you what you want to hear, and I really appreciated that because I think it shows she has your best interest at heart. I am happy to say I highly recommend her.

Astrid is an outstanding broker, pays attention to every detail, is very knowledgeable , is a great negotiator and is wonderful to work with. I give he my highest recommendation

 

~ Stan Levy

In an effort to sell our family farm, we interviewed three different realtors specializing in ranches. Astrid was our unanimous choice. Her marketing plan proved to be a real winner. Very soon the calls, emails and showings began. Within three weeks of listing the Ranch we received an asking price offer. While in escrow Astrid worked very hard and was available for questions on a daily basis. Thanks to Astrid, the Ranch closed two weeks early. Great job, Astrid. Thank You!!!

 

~ Eric Anderson

Astrid is the best broker/agent I have ever worked with. She is very professional and personal. She was always in contact with us letting us know the status of the sale of our house. During the whole process we were updated continually during the sale. At times when we didn't understand some of the paper work, she would take the time and explain step by step. If you are looking for a great agent, she's the BEST to have working for you. I highly recommend Astrid for your agent!

 

~ Pam B

As German citizens living in Munich, we purchased a condo in St Augustine, FL as a rental investment and were thrilled to have Astrid Armani as our Realtor®. She guided us through the entire process with expert advice, German-language support, and video tours. From translating documents to connecting us with a German-speaking notary and property manager, Astrid made everything seamless. We highly recommend her to anyone—especially fellow Germans—looking to buy or sell real estate!

 

~ A Stengel

Astrid did an excellent job assisting me with my property purchase in rural Putnam County. Sent me relevant listings, answered all my questions quickly. Very fast to answer phone and texts. Especially helpful with closing ,helping with every step. Astrid caught an overcharge from title company and saved me money, calling them and having it fixed promptly. Thank you so much for all of your hard work

 

~ Goldensaasafras

Astrids knowledge or rural properties was invaluable in the sale of out homestead. She was great at communicating and keeping us informed on the status of the transaction. I would highly recommend this agent to sell or buy homes and ranches.

 

~ Tim Storey

As a real estate lawyer I deal with a lot of brokers. Astrid was one of the best I have ever encountered. She was extremely professional and her knowledge of the area market was invaluable. She was proactive in dealing with our home and responsive to all inquires, not an easy task when the property was owned by 4 sellers who had their own sets of questions. We would not hesitate to use Astrid again and would recommend her without reservation.
