Los Angeles' first Green-Roofed Fire Station

Councilmember LaBonge joined city fire and public works officials in breaking ground on a state-of-the-art fire station that will include a community room for neighbors and a green roof for Mother Nature.
"Good ol' Station 82, which has done a great job of protecting the Hollywood sign as well as the rest of Hollywood, is going to be great new Station 82," said Councilmember LaBonge. "We searched for a long time for the right location and this spot at Hollywood Boulevard and Van Ness Avenue is perfect."
The 32,000-square-foot firehouse will replace a 5,500 square-foot station on Bronson Avenue that had become inadequate to the needs of the community. The $30 million fire station is being funded through the Prop F General Obligation bond, approved by voters in November, 2000.
