The four-bay station has housed a variety of apparatus. The station was the first in the city to have a female firefighter, Sherrie Wilson, assigned to Emergency Operations on October 20, 1977. The back of the station was used to craft the woodworks, such as furniture, used the fire stations. The new fire and rescue officers are placed in the pit, the sliding door locked and a hose line run over the roof into the pit.
Some stations have mop sinks, others trees.
As the engine left the station, firefighters could see the flames twenty blocks away. A fourth, fifth, and an extra call quickly followed. Two engines, two trucks, and a squad were assigned beyond the five-alarm response.
