Inter-Canyon Station Four

ICFR station four, located at 13877 Grizzly Drive, serves Deer Creek Mesa, White Deer Valley, Deer Creek Canyon Park and other eastern and southern areas of Inter-Canyon Fire Protection District. Station four houses two primary response apparatus. Engine 634 is a four-wheel drive engine with both structural and wild land firefighting capability. Rescue 684 is a four-wheel drive light rescue truck with a major lighting system, SCBA refilling system, extrication equipment and ventilation equipment. In addition Rescue 684 carries complete Advanced Life Support and Basic Life Support Emergency Medical Services equipment including an ECG monitor/defibrillator and medications.

Station four also houses our antique fire truck which appears at local events and parades.

A small gym with workout equipment provides firefighters with an opportunity to maintain their physical fitness. While firefighters are working out they are available in the station for immediate response with apparatus.

Station four is one of only two stations with potable water. While two other stations do have a limited water supply, the water is non-potable. Station five has no water available. A hydrant at station four provides a refill point for the three ICFR tankers. Most areas of ICFPD do not have hydrants and firefighters must haul water via tanker trucks to a fire. Each tanker carries 2500-3000 gallons of water. An average structure fire requires approximately 30,000 gallons of water so multiple round trips are required for water supply. Providing water supply is a difficult, dangerous and time-consuming process on narrow roads with limited access. ICFR works with other surrounding fire departments to provide a consistent water supply during a fire as most of the surrounding districts also have tankers.

Station four is a great facility with excellent apparatus to meet the needs of ICFPD.
