LAFD Engine Company 83 was established in 1942 to serve Encino area and 6 years later the fire station was moved kitty-corner from the current location into a single-bay fire house. 58 years later a new facility was dedicated on February 26, 2006. The new 6-bay facility was built with a “drive-through” feature allowing entrance on either Moorpark St. or Balboa Blvd.
