A new fire station, located at 56 N. Coral Canyon Boulevard next to the Texaco gas station, is a joint venture between Washington City and the Hurricane Valley Fire District. Firefighters from both agencies will staff the station, which will serve the Coral Canyon area of Washington City and Hurricane’s nearby industrial park where the Walmart Distribution Center, Lighthouse Foods, DATS Trucking and other businesses are located.
The cost of building the new station has been shared by Washington City and the fire district, with additional cost covered by the state in the form of a $500,000 grant and a 30-year, $1 million loan. Operational cost will also be split between the two parties. St. George News
