On Sept. 14, the Culver City Fire Department began providing service from a newly completed fire station at 6030 Bristol Parkway. The station, the newest of three in Culver City, is a 12,000 square-foot, two-story, state-of-the-art facility that will house one engine company and one paramedic ambulance, five members total, with room for additional personnel and apparatus if needed. 

  "There are so many people to thank for making this dream a reality but I would be remiss if I did not mention our Public Works Department; they were instrumental in each and every phase of this project from start to finish. The city of Culver City now has a new fire station well-positioned to serve the community for at least the next 50 years. I know that the members of the Culver City Fire Department appreciate the new facility and look forward to serving our community from [the new station]," Fire Chief Christopher Sellers said.

  The new fire station, described by a fire department spokesman as the "culmination of many years of planning and budgeting," will replace the original station, built in 1956, at 11304 Segrell Way. The Culver City Fire Department serves a daytime population of over 200,000 people.
