The Vernal Area Chamber of Commerce Public Relations Committee presented the Beautification Award to Basin Flood & Fire for their efforts in improving the appearance of our community at our Chamber Luncheon today!
The building, formally known as the Wood Auto building has drastically changed this year. Built in 1970 and then added on 1979, it served Vernal with its automotive needs for over 40 years.
Basin Flood & Fire now calls this building their home. March of this year, Basin Flood & Fire started bringing this building back to life. Adding a conference room, office space, bathrooms, and giving it a total facelift. The newly painted bright red building then got an extra touch from a local artist (Jordan Clark Ninty1 Designs) with the goal of being more recognizable as a local, caring business and bringing life back into this busy corner of Vernal.
Basin Flood & Fire wants to stick out in our community’s minds when disasters arise that we are a local business and are here for all their property disasters big and small.
