Station 1 - Connell McCowan Building |
 |
Station 1
was our original Fire Station. Construction
began on it in 1962 and the first truck was
housed in it in early 1963. It originally was a
one story, three bay, dirt floor building. In
1980 construction began on the second floor. By
the mid 80's three more bays were added to the
first floor. On the second floor an apartment
was added along with office space for fire
department business. |
In
1998 the building was dedicated to one of
the founding members. Along with the
dedication, the building received it's
official name, The Connell McCowan Building.
Currently Station 1 Holds 5 Apparatus, Offices, Training/Meeting Room and
an apartment where an active firefighter
resides. |

Station 2 |
 |
As the
population and commercial business' in our
territory grew the need for a sub-station in
Southern Laurel County also grew. We
searched for over a year for the perfect
piece of property. In December of 2003 we
purchased a building just north of KFC and
opened our Station 2. The building was
perfect in size and location. |
It extended our
coverage area, for ISO purposes, to everyone in our Laurel
County area. It also helped in our
response times to areas around I-75.
Station 2 houses two apparatus. Our new Pumper 7 & Ladder 2.
