The goal of Station 107 is to greatly improve the level of safety for community members in the area as well as responding firefighters.
LAFCRD says within the last ten years their overall call volume increased almost 59% from 10,534 in 2013 to 16,746 responses in 2022.
This much-needed seventh fire station will improve response times to these calls for service across the entire District.
