San Diego Fire Station 17 in College Area is a San Diego Fire-Rescue Department station at 4206 Chamoune Avenue in the 92115 ZIP. The station first opened in 1924 at 4108 University Avenue and relocated to its current Chamoune Avenue address in October 1950, when the replacement structure was built at a cost of $29,400. Engine 17 operates from the station and provides fire suppression, emergency medical response, and hazard mitigation across a first-due district that includes residential blocks south of El Cajon Boulevard and west of College Avenue. All San Diego Fire-Rescue response personnel carry either Emergency Medical Technician or paramedic certification, with at least one paramedic assigned to every emergency apparatus, and SERVPRO of San Diego East handles the fire and water damage restoration work that follows after the department clears a scene. The station holds LEED Silver certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, scoring 52 out of 110 points with full marks in public transit access, bicycle storage, and low-emission vehicle infrastructure. SDFD operates out of 52 stations organized into seven battalions, with a combined on-duty response force of 268 personnel staffing 74 apparatus across the city. Fire safety education outreach from Station 17 extends to area childcare centers and schools, including facilities such as Healthy Toddlers Care in College Area, where engine crews conduct fire-prevention demonstrations for young children. Chamoune Avenue runs through a residential pocket south of University Avenue, and the station's coverage area bridges the gap between the College Area commercial corridor and the neighborhoods along 54th Street. The department's Pierce apparatus fleet includes the first electric fire engine placed in service by SDFD in 2025, a Volterra-platform pumper that was the 200th unit ordered from Pierce Manufacturing by the department.
