Station 53 is located in the community of Baker, CA. The new fire station is visible from the I-15 freeway on the Northeastern end of the town. Daily staffing consists of 3 personnel: a full-time Captain, and two paid-call firefighters. They are augmented as needed by other PCFs who live in the local area. The fire apparatus here are: one ICS Type 1 structure engine (E53), and one ICS Type 4 Brush Patrol unit with 4-wheel drive (BP53). The on-duty crew responds the most appropriate vehicle to the incident.

This is a key station supporting the heavily traveled I-15 corridor between Afton Canyon and the NV state line. Station 53 crews also respond to a large portion of the Mojave Preserve South of Baker. Off road enthusiasts in the Dumont Dunes area North of Baker will also receive assistance from this station when needed.
