Jacumba Fire Station 43
The County of San Diego is currently in the design phase of a new 7,800 square feet fire station, located in the Jacumba community. The new state of the art Jacumba Fire Station (FS) will serve as a vital civic resource for fire and life safety. It will provide essential emergency response services, ensuring rapid and efficient handling of fire incidents and medical emergencies. This facility will support the diverse needs of Jacumba’s residents by offering reliable protection and peace of mind. The fire station’s presence will contribute to the overall safety and resilience of the area, reinforcing Jacumba’s vision of a community that balances growth with the preservation of its rural, small-town character and natural environment.
The Jacumba FS will include 2 apparatus bays (double deep), a lobby, an office, 6 dormitory rooms, restrooms, a kitchen, a dining room, a day room, a gym, a solar photovoltaic panel energy collection system and battery storage system, and storage parking spaces, among other ancillary improvements.
