It has 8,516 square feet and 3 bays apparatus room. The station located in North Dallas serves a predominantly residential area, although several business complexes are within the first-alarm district. This was the first Fire Station to have an architectural prerequisite that it blend with the residences in the neighborhood. Therefore, the apparatus entrance to the building is from the east side, instead of the south front. A person unfamiliar with the station's appearance or location could easily mistake it for a house.
History is scant about the station.
Weeks later, on July 9, a general alarm fire occurred at Patton Worsham drug warehouse. Many firefighters were injured, but the majority with cuts and scrapes. Once in his stall, he suddenly bit driver John Coffman. He continued to act up, and attempts by firefighters to quiet him were useless. Eventually, the firefighters had to tie him in the stall and nail boards over the entrance to his stall because of his furious kicking.
