Pine Mountain Forest Fire Station - Engine 4164 Relocation

Pine Mountain Forest Fire Station - Engine 4164 Relocation

Prior to July 1, 2007, CAL FIRE's Engine 4164, its four-person crew, equipment, and supplies will be temporarily relocated from their current location at the Tulare County, Pine Mountain Forest Fire Station to two new locations. The initial move will be to relocate for approximately one year to a private ranch complex at 40556 Hot Springs Drive in California Hot Springs. Following a year of occupancy at that location, a second move will likely be to the USFS California Hot Springs Station, 43477 Mountain Road 50, in California Hot Springs, CA once a Special Use Permit has been obtained from the USFS. This relocation is a result of the recent termination of a Schedule-A Contract between CAL FIRE and Tulare County for fire protection services. Other than the installation of a vehicle shelter, hose racks, and the placement of two 20' cargo containers, there will be no excavations, construction or other improvements made at either temporary location. At the California Hot Springs Station, the vehicle shelter and cargo containers will be placed on existing asphalt without excavations at locations approved by the USFS.
