Fire chief reports call numbers, new Sand Hollow station plan for Hurricane Valley Fire District
Summary
Chief Tyler Ames reported the Hurricane Valley Fire Special Service District had monthly call counts (12 in Springdale, 3 in Rockville, 7 in the park), discussed a planned administration building and a new station near Sand Hollow State Park, and said Chief Harmon will assist with wildland interface work.
At the Dec. 10 Rockville council meeting, Hurricane Valley Fire Special Service District Chief Tyler Ames delivered the district report, opening with incident counts for the previous month and outlining station plans.
Ames said the district responded to 12 incidents in Springdale, three in Rockville and seven incidents inside the park last month. He added that district activity is "kind of slowing down a little bit," and said the district typically sees roughly 500 (term used in the report; the transcript did not specify whether this referred to calls, responses or another metric).
Ames described plans for a new administration building and a station near Sand Hollow State Park: the Sand Hollow station is being designed with an architect and will serve as the district's new administration building; the current Sand Hollow station will remain in operation during transition. He said the property for a future Tocqueville station was donated by a developer near a new interchange and that construction planning is expected to start after the administration building work begins. Ames also noted Chief Harmon, who has about 20 years of wildland experience, will assist with wildland-urban interface planning.
Council members thanked district staff for their work and extended holiday wishes.
What to watch: the district's progress on the Sand Hollow administration building design and any construction schedule that will follow.
