After 33 months in a temporary station, the crew for Station 43 of the Moraga Orinda Fire District moved into its new home at 20 Via Las Cruces, Orinda, holding a grand opening on Saturday, June 15. The new station replaces an aging structure built in 1952 that did not meet the design criteria of the National Fire Protection Association and was in need of seismic upgrades. The two-story building in North Orinda is the first new station built in the district since 2005.
