Renovating Fire Station in Rolling Hills
 The
Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved the
first phase of a project that will renovate fire and
lifeguard stations throughout the County.
Renovations are needed in over 90 of the County’s
fire and lifeguard stations to meet code

sleeping, dressing, and changing. Twelve facilities
will be renovated in Phase 1 of the program,
including Fire Station 56 in Rolling Hills. |

Overhauling the Outdated Irrigation System at Los

More
than $2.6 million was invested into renovating the
irrigation system at the County’s Los Verdes Golf
Course on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. The new system
