Inside San Miguel Fire Station 15 In Spring Valley

When you think of fire stations, you often think of firemen and their trucks.  Once inside a station, it is quite a different world.  Station 15 is located at 2850 Via Orange Way in Spring Valley, and when their firemen are not out on a call they are getting ready for the next call. 

Each engine is checked from top to bottom daily to make sure that they are ready for just about anything when called out.  Not only are they outfitted for fires, each engine is also equipped with paramedics, and every call is accompanied by a paramedic truck.  Firemen have their own way of staying in shape and many use the equipment which simulates what might happen in a real life situation. It is all about being ready for anything at a moments notice.
