SLTFD station 2 will be closed next week

South Lake Tahoe Fire Chief Brian Uhler told Lake Tahoe News the temporary closure of station 2 will be from Aug. 27-31.

(LTN first reported about the possibility of this happening on Aug. 18.)

“(The) same number of actual people (will be) working on a day-to-day basis, just deploying them a little differently,” Uhler told Lake Tahoe News.

The change goes from 8am Aug. 27 to 5pm Aug. 31.

In an email he sent to staff that LTN obtained, Uhler writes, “During this time, I ask that you position the ladder truck at station 3 so any needed response will not require stopping and changing apparatus.”
