A few locals have jokingly referred to it as "Jump Street" Station in honor of the 1987-90 Fox television series(where a special unit of a major metropolitan police force operates out of an abandoned chapel). There are plans to build a much-bigger substation across the street in the next two years. The City has chosen to contract with Cal Fire to operate its fire department(three stations).
