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.
The problem cropped up in November when two firefighters reported being bitten, he said. The employees were moved out for a week so the station could be sprayed, but the problem was still there when they returned.
