ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The KCFD Golden Hills Fire Station is a seasonal fire station that is remaining open through the winter due to extra staffing levels. In today's fire, the quick arrival of extra fire personnel and apparatus helped save the structure. Although the cause of this fire is unknown, as we lead into the winter season, the Kern County Fire Department reminds residents to be sure that coals from the fireplace are completely cold before disposing.
