==History==
Youngstown was originally formed as a rural township, unlike Ohio's other large cities. In the 1860s it exhibited large amounts of growth which brought about the inception of the cities first volunteer company. This company was house at the Governor Tod Engine House No. 1, expanded in 1871 with a ladder company.
In 1888 the first Fire Station 2 would open, it would house Hose Company 2 (Later Engine 2) until 1949. In 1889 the first Station 3 would open housing at first just Hose 3, then being expanded to also house Engine 3. The Governor Tod Engine House would close in 1894, to be replaced by the first Central Fire Station on its site. The first Central Fire Station built in 1894 would house an engine, ladder, chemical and truck company until it was condemned, closed and demolished in 1932. This left the city without a downtown station for 24 years. In 1896, Station 4 would open, it would remain in service with Hose 4, then later Squad 1. The station would close in 1972 and it was later razed as the community deemed it an "eyesore." The first Station 6 also opened in 1896, it was expanded with a second bay then closed in 1960 when the current Station 6 was opened. In 1897, Station 5 opened to serve the quickly growing steel mills in its neighborhood, it closed to be replaced in 1949.
In 1904, Fire Station 7 opened, unfortunately it was closed in 2019 due to budget issues. Station 8 opened in 1908 and was closed in 1991, when Station 8 and 13 were consolidated into the present Station 2. Station 10 opened in 1913 and was later expanded in the back, it was consolidated with Station 5 in 1992 to become the present Station 3. In 1914 Station 11 opened. The highway was constructed in 1972 which made Station 11 redundant as its area was easily served by other companies. In 1922, Fire Station 3 was closed and demolished then replaced by the second Station 3. The second Station 3 opened in 1922 as a single bay station then it was closed in 1934 in preparation for the building to be moved. The first Station 9 was also built in 1922 but the budget only allowed for one station at the time to open and as Station 3 won out, Station 9 wouldn't open for another year.
In 1931 the current and only Station 12 opened. It was temporarily closed in the early 2010s and staff was rotated between it and another station. Station 12 managed to stay active as the Scienceville Fire Station. In 1934 Station 3 was moved to its third location as part of a Civil Works Administration project. It was remodeled and reopened in 1935. Station 13 opened in 1941 and was closed in 1992 when it was consolidated with Station 8 to form the current Station 2. In 1949, the first Station 2 was closed and demolished, and the second Station 5 opened, the first Station 2 was later replaced by the second Station 2 in early 1950. In 1952, Station 14 opened. Its engine would be removed and it would be closed in 1980. Station 15 opened in 1955 and it remains in operation today.
Construction began on the current Fire Station 1 on March 31, 1955 and it opened in 1956 with its current apparatus. In 1960, the present Station 6 opened, replacing the original 1890 station. The second Station 2 and the third Station 3 would close in 1980 due to a lack of funds. In 1990, the second Station 5 would close due to a lack of funds. In 1990, Station 14 was re-opened, housing the Arson unit until 2018, when it was closed again. The current Station 2 was designed to consolidate Stations 8 and 13. When it opened in 1992 it briefly served as a double engine house before the second, Engine 13 was disbanded. Also in 1992 the current Station 3 opened as a consolidation of Stations 5 and 10. The first Station 9 closed in 2014 when it was replaced by the current Station 9.
