THOUSAND OAKS — The Ventura County Fire Department, in partnership with local officials and community members, celebrated the official dedication of the new Fire Station 34 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday, June 11. Following the ceremony, attendees were invited to tour the state-of-the-art facility.
Ventura County Fire Chief Dustin Gardner was joined by Supervisor Jeff Gorell, Board Chair Janice Parvin, County CEO Dr. Sevet Johnson, Thousand Oaks Mayor David Newman, Pastor Eric Goehner of Trinity Lutheran Church, Congresswoman Julia Brownley, representatives from RRM Design Group, and local firefighters and dignitaries to commemorate the event.
“This station represents our continued commitment to public safety and service in Thousand Oaks and all of Ventura County,” said Chief Gardner. “It’s designed with our firefighters’ needs in mind so they can best serve the community, now and into the future.”
The new station, located at 2977 Mountclef Blvd., Thousand Oaks, CA 91360, was built at a cost of $10 million. It sits on a 1.8-acre site and spans 11,331 square feet. The facility includes two pass-through engine bays that support up to four apparatus, two offices, a kitchen, a dining area, living quarters for three personnel, a detached fitness building, and a separate garage with three back-in bays. It replaces the original Fire Station 34, which had served the community since 1961.
The project was approved by the Ventura County Board of Supervisors in January 2022, with construction managed by Telacu Construction Management.
