CAL FIRE/San Diego County Fire is temporarily shuttering Miller Station, also known as Fire Station 15 in Escondido, starting tomorrow, while crews tackle critical infrastructure renovations that are expected to last about two to three months. Firefighters will not be based at the station during the work, and both equipment and staffing will be shifted to other sites so emergency coverage in the area continues. Residents are still told to call 9-1-1 for emergencies, while non-emergency questions should go to county non-emergency contacts.
In a post on CAL FIRE/San Diego County Fire’s Facebook page, the agency explained that the project will address critical infrastructure failures that impact the health and safety of firefighters and detailed how crews will be shuffled. According to the post, Water Tender 15 will be reassigned to Station 10 in Fallbrook, Engine 3381 will operate from Station 14 in Escondido, and Deer Springs Station 11 will cover fire and EMS calls for the Miller Station area while Station 15 is offline.
