S
tation 41 is located on the corner
of 29 Palms Highway and Hwy
247 (Old Woman Springs Road)
in the heart of Yucca Valley. The station’s
central location is ideal for responding
to the over 4000 emergency calls it
receives per year, making 41’s units
some of the busiest in the county. The
station also serves as the south desert’s primary education/training location, as well as an
emergency operations center (EOC). Over the years, as the town continued to grow and
call volumes increased, the need to house more personnel and equipment has led to many
additions and changes to the station itself, which was built in 1959. In fact, many of these
additions were constructed and implemented by the on-duty crews themselves.

The station is currently staffed with a two-person medic engine and two paramedic
ambulances. This has been the staffing model for some time in Yucca Valley, but not for
much longer. Both Stations 41 and 42 (Yucca Mesa) will be staffed with three full-time
personnel starting late September and the medic ambulances will be converted to nonsuppression staffing when the Ambulance Operator program comes on-line sometime in
October. This will be a wonderful change for
