History
On the 29th of September 1958, Station 1 at 4550 Hollister Avenue (now Station 13) was completed at a cost of $66,213. (Until its completion, the crew there had shared quarters with City firemen at an old military-city station at Hoff Heights, near what is now the Earl Warren Showgrounds.) Five years later, in 1963, four living units, or small houses, were completed. These living units were inhabited by married personnel, whose wives would work at the stations as dispatchers for their respective districts. This arrangement was typical of the period and most of the houses are still standing at Stations 11, 13, 24, 31, 51 and 41 where today they serve as offices or residences.
