A beautiful brand-new but old-time-styled firehouse in Downtown Clovis, CA. The station opened in 2008 and was designed to fit into the western theme that Clovis aspires to maintain in its Old Town District. The facility includes station offices and living quarters, a three bay apparatus garage with wooden doors, and public restrooms. The City makes a weekly statement with a big sign noting that the firehouse is closed due to budget cuts because of the Federal and State Government funds. http://abclocal.go.com/kfsn/story?section=news/local&id=6894587

The Clovis Fire Department was founded in 1912 as a volunteer department and was housed in facilities shared with the California Department of Forestry. The Original Station 1 housing the City's first paid-call staff was constructed in 1969 and the current building was constructed in 2008.
