Description
Constructed by the Public Works Administration (PWA) in 1939. It is the oldest continuous operating fire station in the San Fernando Valley. There has been investigation since 2009 on whether to replace it or construct a new station elsewhere since the needs of the community have outgrown the building.

It WAS the oldest continuously operating fire station in the San Fernando Valley. The new Fire Station 39 is located on Oxnard Street. The original building is empty and abandoned, for now (2022).
