Fire Station 78 Groundbreaking Ceremony
The official groundbreaking ceremony for new Fire Station 78 was held Monday, October 23, 2006. Guest speakers included Wendy Greuel, Councilmember, 2nd District, Yolanda Fuentes, Commissioner, Board of Public Works, Gary Moore, City Engineer, Andrew Friedman, Fire Commissioner, and William Bamattre, Fire Chief.
New Fire Station 78, located at 4041 Whitsett Avenue, Studio City, is one of the 19 replacement fire stations funded by the voter approved Proposition F Bond Measure. The new fire station, situated on one acre of land, will be a 2 story facility approximately 15,250 square feet, replacing the temporary station on Coldwater Canyon Blvd.
It is anticipated that construction will take approximately 14 to 18 months at a cost of 8 million dollars. The original Fire Station 78 was built in 1943, at a cost of $34,960. It was destroyed in the 1994 Northridge Earthquake.
Sorry for the delay in getting them to you. My Department sedan got stuck in service lane at the Fotomat! :)
