Fire Station No. 2 dedication set for Saturday, 10/25 at 11:00 a.m.
West Loveland station now fully operational
Commitment to provide top-tier fire protection to Loveland’s fast-growing west side and the wild lands that flank was fulfilled this week with the opening of Loveland Fire Rescue Authority’s Fire Station No. 2.
Dedication of the 12,000-square-foot, $4.1 million fire station will be at 11 a.m. Saturday, with residents of neighborhoods that benefit from the new station invited to attend.
“This opening is the realization of our pledge to serve western Loveland with the first-rate fire protection that we deliver elsewhere,” Loveland Fire Rescue Authority Randy Mirowski said. “Fire Station 2 will secure the future, covering one of the fastest-growing sectors of our community.”
The station at 3070 W. 29th St. is the completion of a “move” from the previous Station 2 location at North Lake Park. Sale of that building to Thompson Valley Emergency Medical Services is in progress.
The new four-bay station will house one engine, one technical rescue truck, a fire investigation truck, a wildland fire engine and a dive rescue boat and trailer. Two crews of three, on three shifts, will staff the station.
The station covers the region north of Eisenhower Boulevard, west of Colorado Avenue and south of Larimer County Road 32 (Carpenter Road), including the foothill areas north of the mouth of Big Thompson Canyon.
Fire Station No. 2 features a prominent sculpture, “Reflections” by Pueblo artist Ken Williams, crafted in remembrance of firefighters who died at the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.
The station was designed by Belford Watkins Group Architects LLC and built by Golden Triangle Construction Inc.
DEDICATION: 11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 25, 3070 W. 29th Street. Comments from LFRA and City officials, station tours, light refreshments. Neighbors are most welcome.
