Covering SDSU and its surrounding neighborhoods, San Diego Fire-Rescue Department Station 10 in College Area operates from 4605 62nd Street in San Diego's 92115 ZIP. The station's history dates to 1913, when the original Station 8 opened at 4470 Park Boulevard before closing in 1933 and reopening as Station 10 at 4704 College Way in 1934 at a construction cost of $4,700. The current 62nd Street facility has housed the station since March 1977, positioning Engine 10 within the dense residential and commercial corridor that runs between El Cajon Boulevard and University Avenue. The first-due district covers the SDSU campus and the apartment-heavy blocks surrounding College Avenue, and the station provides fire suppression and emergency medical services to campus buildings, student housing, and the Kohl's retail complex at University Square. SDFD training exercises take place at the station's on-site drill facility, where firefighters practice rooftop ventilation using chainsaws and other forcible-entry tools in 30-minute rotation drills with safety briefings before each session. All response personnel carry EMT or paramedic credentials, and Engine 10's crew provides advanced life support for medical emergencies throughout the SDSU campus zone, where large event crowds at Aztec Stadium and Viejas Arena generate surge-demand EMS calls. The station sits two blocks south of El Cajon Boulevard, adjacent to the College Area community resources corridor that includes the College-Rolando Branch Library on Montezuma Road. The 62nd Street address places the station at the center of the College Area grid, where engine response times reach both the El Cajon Boulevard commercial strip and the residential blocks east of 70th Street within the department's target four-minute window. SDFD operates 52 fire stations across the city with a combined on-duty force of 268 personnel staffing 74 apparatus, and Station 10's proximity to SDSU makes it one of the higher call-volume stations in the eastern division.
