NEW ARCHWAY IN RAMONA 🆕 Firefighters from Battalio NEW ARCHWAY IN RAMONA 🆕 Firefighters from Battalion 8 Ramona were honored to join members of the community last week for a special celebration. On Halloween night, after a dramatic countdown, colorful lights illuminated Ramona’s new archway and the structure’s centerpiece was revealed — “Est. 1883 Ramona.”

The archway, crossing over 10th Street, was designed to capture Ramona’s spirit and charm and was unveiled in a festive ceremony attended by local officials and residents. After 11 years in the making, many hard working and dedicated individuals who contributed saw their efforts, resulting in a beautifully successful outcome.

CAL FIRE/San Diego County recognizes the commitment and meticulous effort involved in creating and bringing about this distinctive archway for the Ramona community. Our department is honored to protect and proudly serve such a beautiful and unique area of San Diego County!
