History
Fire Station 84 is located at 5340 Canoga
Ave. The Station was constructed in 1949 and is approximately 3,230
square feet. It currently houses a
Engine Company staffed by 4 firefighters, and a Paramedic Rescue staffed
by 2 Paramedics .
Fire Station 84’s district (eight square miles) is known for
having large areas of heavy brush in close proximity to expensive homes.
Warner Center high-rise buildings are also in Fire Station 84's district. When the
station was built, the area was primarily a farming community.
Reason for Project
The fire station was built to
house 4 firefighters and is beyond its capacity.
A separate garage houses the Engine and the Rescue Ambulance
parks outside on the front apron
The facility can not house the resources needed to meet present
and expected growth of the community.
The current site is too small to accommodate expansion to a
Regional Fire/Paramedic Station.
Evaluation Of Current Facility
Areas of deficiencies that were noted by Bureau
of Engineering survey determined problems with: space, seismic, heating
and air conditioning, electrical, plumbing,
building code, American Disabilities Act (ADA), fire protection systems, and
lack of adequate separate gender
facilities.
Projected Resource Workloads
Community planning census information and Fire
Department historical incident data have been used to project resource
workloads. It is projected that the number of responses will
increase 11.9% for apparatus assigned to Fire
Station 84 by the year 2010. |
Service Area Population Growth
Community planning census information
indicates that the population growth for Woodland Hills has increased
steadily and is projected to increase to 191,892, which is a 25.8%
increase by the year 2010.
