See Ground-Breaking Ceremony for San Bernardino County (CA) Fire Station 81

Late last month, Fontana and San Bernardino County Fire Department officials broke ground on the future site of Fire Station 81, located on Casa Grande Avenue.

“Recently, [local officials] held a ground-breaking ceremony for Fire Station 81,” the city of Fontana says. “This new fire station located along Casa Grande just west of Sierra Avenue will enhance fire department response times for the northern part of the city. The station is over 13,000 square feet on a 1.3-acre site. The building will be designed to complement the existing residential community within the Summit at Rosena Specific Plan.”

Fire Station 81 is anticipated to be completed in Spring 2023.
