Posted January 13, 2017 That is sad! There was another incident just in last week I will try to get more info on, about an arson fire at one of the fire stations in Southern California, generally in that area, that destroyed some kind of outside structure. I hope we do not have some strange series. I will follow-up soon with more info. x635 likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 13, 2017 the fire took truck 61, battalion 8 usar support 61 and a zodiac inflatable boat used for water rescue, engine 61, (on a reserve engine ) was not consumed and was used in the firefighting effort. there were already plans to replace this station in the very near future, around the corner from where it is now, looks like the plans will be accelerated now. the other incident that rescue 51 was referring to was in apple valley, where a fire station out building was destroyed, the arsonist was apprehended near the scene Rescue51 and x635 like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 13, 2017 Thanks for that information 'joeyk48'. I did not know that other incident of arson was Apple Valley, thought it was closer to O.C.. Glad they got the suspect in-custody on the Apple Valley incident. x635 likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you mean to the empty lot on La Palma between the Elementary School and Western? Just Curious.

Posted January 15, 2017 yes, it was a land swap with knotts, they will give ocfa the land on la palma in exchange for the land where 61 now sits x635 and Casey like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
