Lehi open news fire station

By Linda Petersen
LEHI — A new city fire station was dedicated December 14 at 3870 North Traverse Mountain Boulevard.

Fire Station #83, which will serve the Traverse Mountain area, includes living quarters, offices, a community room and a training tower. The station, which resembles an old Chicago-style fire station, was designed by Design West and was built by Ascent Construction at a cost of $ $4.6 million (An additional $1 million was spent on developing the road in front of the station).

Mayor Bert Wilson and Fire Chief Jeremy Craft spoke at the dedication preceding a hose cutting ceremony.

Afterwards, Lehi fire crews and crews from surrounding communities performed a traditional wetdown of the new fire truck. They then pushed it into the station, in a semblance of how horse-drawn fire trucks were pushed into stations in days past, prior to a formal dedication by the chaplain.

An open house with tours of the station from 1 to 7 p.m. followed.

The new station will be manned by a crew of five firefighter paramedics and will house a fire truck and an ambulance.

This will be the third station in Lehi, joining Fire Station #81 at 176 Center Street and Fire Station #82 at 250 West 2600 North.
