Camp 9 has 1 fire crew and is part of the Los Pinetos-Tujunga District. Located atop the mountains splitting the Pacoima and Saugus areas. The primary location for our fly crew program. The helicopter has water dropping capabilities and can respond with a paid crew of 7 to 8 crew fire fighters.

Former administration site for Nike Battery LA-94. All of the buildings here are the original admin site buildings which included a mess hall, barracks for officers and enlisted, and offices. In use by the Army from 1955 to November 1968, when the Pentagon realigned its missile defense operations. Control of the double battery at Los Pinetos transfered to NORAD.
