A new $8 million firehouse will be constructed by the County of Ventura on a 2.7-acre plot near the intersection of Highway 126 and C Street. The existing station at 613 Old Telegraph Road is too small to allow needed expansion.

The new station will be more than three times the size of the current station at 15,000 square feet. The County has budgeted for 5 new stations: upper Ojai, Newbury Park, Thousand Oaks and lake Sherwood and Fillmore. The Fillmore station will start in October and be completed in 2018.
