Although available for several years, Foothill Fire Protection District has yet to break ground for station #1. At this time, Foothill Fire Protection District’s only station is a rented building in Valley Springs, and this building is inadequate to house the district’s equipment. A majority of the district’s equipment is left outside in the weather, possibly leading to unnecessary maintenance costs.
