CBS News Colorado has reported that Summit Fire and EMS knows it needs a fire station in Silverthorne which it said was "booming" in population, but that there wasn't the money to do a fully staffed station yet. The idea was to basically build out a garage to store a fire truck and an ambulance to have closer on hand than Dillion's station, 5 miles and across a busy intersection.
Now that plan has changed, according to the folks in the neighborhood that would be closest to the new fire station.
Gaylene Bruskotter and Jay Engeln agreed to talk with CBS News Colorado about their efforts to get the fire station put in place as soon as possible. According to those neighbors, the plan is still set for construction in 2023, but it is now a full-fledged fire station, even though that will cost more than Summit Fire and EMS have budgeted for the building.
