This is a big week for a tiny Santa Barbara County community. Its more than seven decade old fire station is being replaced with a new combined state-of-the-art fire and sheriff’s facility.
New Cuyama is officially getting a new combined fire station and Sheriff’s Department substation.
The 9,000 square foot complex is off of Highway 166, at Newsome Street.
The $8.2 million facility replaces one built in the 1950’s. It will be the county’s new Fire Station 27. In addition to the 8,000 square foot fire department complex, it will have a 1,000 square foot Sheriff’s substation.
The station not only serves the town of New Cuyama, it provides coverage to a large section of Highway 166, which connects the coast to Kern County.
