Demolition crews went to work Thursday bulldozing a fire station in the north Valley. But a new, sturdier and more well-built station will take its place.
The station was built in 2001. Unfortunately, there was some faulty construction issues and structural problems.
According to Daisy Mountain Fire Department, "The station was built by a former fire Chief (literally) and there was no warranty or contractor that could be held responsible for the faulty construction. The station was having structural problems due to soil compaction prior to construction. The district did conduct a feasibility study to determine whether it would be more cost effective to repair the station or rebuild. Due to the extensive problems with the building it was determined that it would be more cost effective to rebuild."
