BUILDING’S ORIGIN The structure was built by volunteers, assisted by labor crews from the Round Valley CAL Fire Forestry and Fire Protection Fire Station, and largely finished in 2009. Larry Paglia, a mentor to many, passed away in 2010. But volunteers continue to acquire, repair, and maintain donated display items, maintain buildings and grounds and give tours. |
