Fire
Station 33 sits on the banks of Lake Sherwood and serves Hidden Valley
and the southern reaches of the Westlake Village area of Thousand
Oaks. Built in 1949 the Lake Sherwood Fire Station has been an integral
part of that community serving as a center for many events. The station
was the victim of a brushfire that burned through the station taking
the roof off in the early 1950's. This station is a combination of
an engine room with small living quarters and a house. The houses
adjacent to our stations were used in the early years as homes for
the captains and battalion chiefs and their families. They were literally
on duty every day.
Today, the station could well be known as the "Hollywood"
station because of all the filming in Hidden Valley and the number
of celebrities calling Hidden Valley home. Station 33 is staffed daily
by 3 firefighters and houses a 2002 American La France pumper (Engine 33) and a
1981 Van Pelt reserve engine (Engine 133)
