Montebello : Ground Will Be Broken for Long-Awaited Fire Station
- Share via
After years of delays, groundbreaking is scheduled at 11 a.m. Friday for a fire station on the south side of Montebello.
The station, at Greenwood Avenue and Date Street, will replace one of Montebello’s oldest fire stations built in 1944.
According to the plans, the station will be almost 10 times larger than the old station, and will house a captain, engineer and two firefighter paramedics. The station also will house the city’s fire prevention bureau, emergency services section and the police community services office where residents can file reports or make complaints.
The $1.5-million project, which was originally discussed in 1970, is scheduled for completion next September.
