Pictures Above: Speech! Firefighter Sand, Deputy Chief Welsch and Lt. Collins put their collective feet to the first shovel of dirt for the new building.
Ground-breaking for the fire station culminates a long effort initiated by Crystal Park as a key part of its Community Wildfire Protection Plan.
The fire station will be used in several ways that include "shelter-in-place", maintenance facility, and the designated home for fire apparatus and the Crystal Park Fire Department. The initial building should be completed by mid- December and will be operational 365 days/year.

As a cost saving measure, the CPFD members have agreed to volunteer their time to do construction work and to ensure the facility has heating and electricity.
And Up it Goes!
