The Oak
Hills Station is located at the top of the heavily
traveled Cajon Pass facing the I-15 freeway. This station
is staffed daily with a full-time Captain, full-time
Firefighter Paramedic, and a paid-call firefighter (PCF).
There are often additional Paid-Call personnel available
locally via pager to staff a second unit if needed. Two
vehicles are located here: Brush Engine 40 is an ICS
Type 3 Fire Engine, Brush Patrol 40 (BP40) is an ICS Type
4 Engine with 4 wheel drive which is sometimes referred to
in other departments as a "Quick Attack" or "mini-pumper". The
Amkus tool (also known as the "Jaws of Life") and
Paramedic gear are carried on the primary response
vehicle.
Company
40 responds to the rapidly growing community of Oak Hills
with many large custom homes and is responsible for
protection of the I-15 corridor from Highway 138 in the
middle of Cajon Pass North to the Hesperia city limits and
Highway 395. Since Hesperia is also part of County Fire,
BE40 and units from Hesperia frequently assist each other
in and out of the city limits based on the closest
resource concept. Other areas served include Baldy Mesa,
West Cajon Valley, and Summit Valley.
