Palomar Mountain Fire Station will soon be getting a $1.8 million remodel that will include permanent living quarters to house four to six firefighters and other improvements.
San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to amend a 50-year lease with the Palomar Mountain Volunteer Fire Department to allow for construction, demolition and reconfiguring of the property, and then send the project out to bid.
The county contracts with Cal Fire to provide fire and emergency medical services in the community of Palomar Mountain. The fire station at 21610 Crestline Road, built in the early 1990s, sits on 3.29 acres.
