Kings County Fire needs a new facility, the Tachi-Yokut Tribe has land, and their new project together aims to improve public safety and build a deeper intergovernmental partnership.
Bill Lynch, Kings County fire chief, said the county and the tribe have had an intergovernmental contract for more than 20 years that provides emergency services to the reservation and the Tachi Palace Casino Resort.
Station seven, located on 18th Avenue, is an old building and shifting population has put it almost in the City of Lemoore, prompting the department to start searching for a site to house a new facility, Lynch said.
