Fire Station #71 Modernization Project

Fire Station #71 Modernization Project

The existing Fire Station #71 was originally built in 1929, and remodeled in the 1930s. It is the oldest, smallest and busiest Fire Station in the City of Fontana, and no longer meets the fire protection and safety needs of the City. It needs to be expanded and modernized to provide adequate fire protection services to the central part of the City. The existing Fire Station currently occupies one parcel that totals 16,400 sf (0.38 acres). The project involves the consolidation of three parcels and portions of two other parcels to the north to provide the site area needed for a modern fire station to serve Downtown Fontana. Those three parcles are approximately equal size, and currently contain the vacant property that previously contained the abandoned American Legion Post 262, the existing historic Fire Station #71, and a portion of historic A. B. Miller Park.
