HIGHLAND, Utah (ABC 4 NEWS)-ABC 4 is taking action in Highland where a man says he can't stand the flashing bright lights from a newly built firehouse.

Dan L. Baxter and his wife Mary say the lights are too bright and it’s forcing them to abandon the front part of their house. Baxter says it’s not the view he wanted when he moved in more than 30 years ago to his home at 10859 n 5600 w.

He’s right across the street from a Highland Fire Station. Baxter said,” It parallels a disco in this home when those lights are all on.” They're house is less than 150 feet away from the fire station that sits on well traveled 5600 west.

The Baxter’s say they spent some time in Carbon County tending to Mary's ailing father.
When they came back, construction had already started on the building. They say they didn't have any say in the matter.

The Baxter’s have asked the city to build them a two-foot high berm and staggered trees in front of their house to obstruct their view of the firehouse. Dan L. says he's been putting up with the bright lights for about a year now.

He says it gets old retreating to the back of the house. He says the light, Baxter said,” Comes right through that glass and ii hits this mirror. We've had company over and you can come clear back to here. You can sit right on this fireplace right here. And the lights bounce off that picture right to this spot.”

The Baxter’s say the city originally agreed to pay between 9 and 20-thousand dollars for the berm and the trees. Now the city appears to be backpedaling. ABC 4 hopes to talk to city officials and make sure they keep their word. We’re going to stay on top of this story until we get a resolution for the Baxter’s.
