🚒 Breaking Ground on Station 293! 🚒

Today marks an exciting milestone for Rincon Valley Fire District as we officially break ground on our new Station 293 on the corner of Colossal Cave Rd and Via Rancho Del Lago! 🎉

Construction is expected to take approximately one year, and we look forward to watching this important project take shape. Station 293 represents an investment in the future of our district and will help us continue meeting the needs of our growing community.

We are incredibly grateful to Lloyd Construction Company, Inc., our Board members for their continued support and Chief Tucker’s leadership, as well as everyone whose hard work and planning helped bring this project to life.

We look forward to sharing updates throughout the journey and celebrating when Station 293 is ready to serve our community! 🎉
