Chula Vista ljast week opened a new, state-of-the-art fire station on Moss Street, the second to open within a month.
Fire Station No. 3, located at 100 Moss Street near Naples Street, replaces the 60-year-old facility that was formerly Station No. 9.
“Relocating this station will help meet the goal of arriving at calls in seven minutes, 90 percent of the time,” city officials said in a news release.
Much like the new Station No. 5 on Orange Avenue, the 13,000-square-foot building features fast roll-up doors for quick responses, the ability to house modern fire equipment, four drive-thru bays and 10 bunk rooms. All personnel on duty have a cellphone that generates an alert tone, call information and mapping. Time is saved by a computer-generated voice message alerting crews to the incoming call while dispatchers are still gathering information from the caller, officials said.
