WHY IS A NEW FIRE STATION BEING BUILT?

Chino Valley Fire identified a significant need to build a fire station in the Soquel Canyon area of Chino Hills through a Standards of Cover Assessment and Master Plan update conducted in 2018. The assessment found that a fire station strategically located in the urban-wildland interface will facilitate a quicker response and deployment of resources during wildland fires. The addition of a fourth fire station in Chino Hills will also improve response times and provide needed resources to draw from during emergency incidents throughout the Chino Valley.
