SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — Bed bugs have forced the Salt Lake City Fire Department to temporarily abandon one of its busiest stations.
The three-story Station House No. 2 at 270 W. 300 North has been vacant since mid-December and firefighters won't be allowed back in for at least two more weeks while the department tries to eradicate the pests, said spokesman Dennis McKone.
