The public is invited to a ground breaking ceremony for the new Logan City Fire Station, at 10 a.m. Tuesday October 11. Station 70 will be built at 200 North 100 East, across the street from the existing building, CacheValleyDaily.com reported.

A fire official said in addition to the traditional ground breaking activities, he’ll be presenting details about the new station that has been in the plans for years, the report said.

The station, which was originally built in 1974, has also been the headquarters for the department. So, in addition to more living quarters, the new building will also offer more office space and larger training areas that can be used for public gatherings, like the vaccine clinics that were done during the COVID pandemic, according to the report.

Plans for a new station have been ongoing for years. The designs started moving forward quickly, though, after the 2020 earthquake disabled two of Magna City’s fire stations, hindering their rescue efforts, the report said.
