Fire Station 23 serves the Oak View and Casitas Springs areas of Ventura County. The old fire station was constructed in 1948 and modified many times to accommodate improvements in services. A new Station 23 was built on the original site and opened in 2000. It includes a two-story office and quarters area with slide pole and a community meeting room.
The Oak View Fire Station is staffed daily by six firefighters (including the battalion chief) and is the Battalion 2 Headquarters. Station 23 houses: a 1500 gpm pumper (Engine 23); and is joined by a Paramedic Squad (Squad 23) to form a medic/rescue/engine combination. In addition to normal fire station duties, this unit provides ALS, heavy rescue and fire fighting support throughout the Ojai Valley. The battalion chief has a command vehicle. |
