Saugus was an industrial city near Los Angeles, California. It was roughly half an hour's drive from Downtown Los Angeles, located east of Interstate 5. ("Day 1: 6:00pm-7:00pm")
An expansive tract of land in Saugus, located at 21911 Kipling Avenue, was once used as one of Strategic Air Command's Nike antiaircraft missile sites. The property was later purchased by the Fish and Game Department and supposedly converted into the Saugus Wildlife Preserve. In truth, the missile bunker was converted into a top-secret detention facility as part of the Department of Defense's Mobile Underground Detention and Detainment network.

After Senator David Palmer discovered the address of the wildlife preserve in Drazen's file, and Alexis Drazen bribed a power company official to shut off the site's power grid, Jack Bauer was led to Saugus due to its possible connection to the assassination threat. After searching the preserve, he stumbled onto the underground prison and the identity of its next prisoner: Victor Drazen. Meanwhile Andre Drazen broke into the facility and rescued his father, killed the prison staff, and took Bauer hostage. The terrorists escaped before CTU troops could apprehend them.
