History
Fire Station 59 is located at 11505 Olympic Blvd and was constructed in
1963. The station houses a Paramedic
Assessment Engine Company staffed by 4 Firefighters.
Based on a study of operational needs, the
Fire Department is seeking expansion of the existing site for construction
of a 6000 square foot apparatus storage building and a 2,500 square
foot multi-purpose room.
Unique to this facility is its oversized parcel and the existence
of a Drill Tower.
Reason
for Project
The location and size of this property
offers an opportunity to establish a Regional Facility within the West Los
Angeles Community. Placement of such a
facility at this location will enable the Department to achieve its goal
of creating a Regional Fire Station network in the West Los Angeles area.
