On or about September 24, 2013, OCFD vacated its original Station 4 opened 1974 at 12925 Coastal Hwy at 130th Street. Engine 7-4 and Paramedic 7-4 moved to several bays (one open and at left in middle photo) of the nearby Parks Dept Garage at 12801 Jamaica Ave. This is about 500 yards away at the end of a cul-de-sac behind Montego Bay Shopping Center next to Northside Park. Station 4 was demolished to make room for a larger new two-story, three-bay, 11,500 square foot firehouse to be completed before the start of next season. Reportedly the next project to follow this one will be a replacement for Station 3 possibly in front of the public safety building at 65th Street.
