Press release: OCFA - Fire Station 38 Open for Busines


The Orange County Fire Authority and the City of Irvine are proud to announce the opening of Fire Station 38, located at 26 Parker.

The new fire station replaces a temporary facility that stood for more than 25 years.
Built to last approximately 50 years, the station is equipped with the most modern and energy efficient devices available. Station 38 was constructed to withstand a 7.0 earthquake and can function completely on its own, which will enable it to provide emergency and rescue services to the residents of Irvine and surrounding areas during major emergency incidents when there is no electricity and/or phone service.
Fire Station 38 currently is the home of Engine 38, which has a three-person crew, and Medic 38, which is staffed by two Firefighter/Paramedics. The station was constructed with the ability to expand and can, if needed, house additional fire apparatus.
The new station cost $5.6 million and was built with funds provided by the Irvine Community Development Company.

****REMINDER**** Every fire has the ability to be catastrophic. The wildland fire management environment has profoundly changed. Growing numbers of communities, across the nation, are experiencing longer fire seasons; more frequent, bigger, and more severe, fires are a real threat. Be careful with all campfires and equipment.

"I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts, and beer." --Abraham Lincoln
