Fillmore’s new $8-million county fire house is nearing completion. It is situated on a 2.7 acre site at the corner of River and C Streets. At 15,000 square feet, the new station will be more than three times the size of the current station, located at 613 Old Telegraph Road. It will provide improved access to the highway, modern utility systems and adequate room for fire engines. The current staff of four firefighters and a two-member bulldozer crew will move to the new station. The current station will be leased to the U.S. Forest Service, which now operates out of a trailer on the property.
