Drivers who routinely travel on Smoketree Lane will notice a change in road markings in front of Prescott Fire Department’s Station 74. On Tuesday markings were added in front of the station to help draw attention to the presence of the fire station, and specifically the engine that regularly has to block Smoketree as it backs into the apparatus bay. Ever increasing traffic flow on Smoketree has resulted in numerous near-misses as vehicles have driven past the engine. As recently as Sunday a vehicle drove behind the engine as it was actively backing into the bay, despite the engine having its emergency lights on and backing sideways across Smoketree Lane.
