The permanent fire station officially opened on August 17 and is expected to respond to 1,200 fire and emergency calls per year. The station adds to the growing network of fire stations, providing increased fire protection and emergency medical services to the growing Santa Clarita Valley.
The 3,000 square foot station has room for 10 firefighting personnel as well as three dozer crew members. The two-bay apparatus floor also includes a training room, day room and dormitory. Funding for the new fire station came through developer fees and cost $8.6 million in construction. In addition, the station has received certification by the US Green Building Council, a leader in energy and environmental design.
The Los Angeles County Fire Department is currently underway in the development of five future fire stations in the Santa Clarita Valley expected to be in service in the next one-to-two years.
Hi – my name is Heidi, I used to work at WESCO Aircraft. Every year my company would take a group picture with your fire engine #156 on Sep. 11th.
This year we would like to take another picture so if you can make it on Monday we would be very happy. Of course, if there is an emergency on the 11th we know you can’t make it. Since we now have two buildings I don’t expect you to be at both places. But this is what we have been doing in the last few years:
Breaktime 9:45am at Wesco, 27727 Avenue Scott. and/or
Breaktime 3:15pm at Wesco, 24911 Avenue Crocker.
Sincerely, Heidi Jorgensen (661-433-3537) thank you very much.
