New L.A. County fire station to break ground in Santa Clarita

Santa Clarita will celebrate the coming of a new fire station Friday when Los Angeles County officials host a groundbreaking ceremony.

Los Angeles County Fire Chief Daryl L. Osby will be joined by Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich, Santa Clarita Mayor Marsha McLean and other officials to herald construction of Fire Station 150.

The new station at 19190 Golden Valley Road is to serve as a division and battalion headquarters, county fire officials said.

When completed, the 20,000-square-foot, energy-efficient station will have a three-bay apparatus room as well as 12 dormitory rooms to accommodate the assistant chief, battalion officers and firefighters.

The station is scheduled to be in service in November 2012.
