We have virtually nothing in the bliilding itself that will burn, Hodson. explained Chief THE 3,000 square foot space on the upper level is designed for future expansion, but will not be partitioned now. Front and rear stairways connect the two levels. Scott Louie and' Browning, a Salt Lake City architectural firm, designed the building.

Kitchen facilities, a large shower room (where firemen can clean up after a fire) and a locker room are also provided. SIX HUGE overhead doors open automatically at the touch of a button by the police ... , and fire dispatcher. The same touch turns on the lights in the building and shuts off the elec- trie stove, speeding response time for the 20 volunteer firemen. One feature that will be welcomed by firemen is the new electrically heated hosedrying cabinet, which can dry about 500 feet of hose at a time. ASSISTING Chief Hodson as fire department officers are Dean Sessions and George Livingston as assistant chiefs; Roger Bodily and Don Brown, captains; and Steve Kearl and Lamar Schofield, lieutenants. The department responds to all Clearfield fire calls, including coverage of the Freeport Center and also handles fire protection for West Point.
