Station #1

Station #1 is located in the Public Safety Building (formerly the City Hall building) at 201 Lysle Blvd next to the Downtown business district. This station also serves as the administrative headquarters for the Fire Department.

The minimum staffing for Station #1 is three (3) firefighters, however this station is often staffed with four (4) firefighters.

The firefighters assigned to Station #1 operate a 2001 E-One HP75 Sidestacker Aerial Quint (Ladder 190) and a 1998 Ford Expedition (Command 190). A 1998 Ford Cargo Van (MAC 190) is also housed at Station #1. This unit is equipped with a mobile cascade system in order to refill SCBA air cylinders for our firefighters when operating at a building fire.

MAC 190 is placed into service when off-duty personnel are called in for building fires and other major incidents. It is not staffed on a regular daily basis.
