Facilities
Headquarters Station 1 In November 1978 the fire department moved from a combination police-fire-city hall building, into this untra-modern station located at 1002 Avalon Avenue. This facility houses Engine 1, Tower 1, and Truck 7. As are all stations, it has facilities for offices, living and sleeping quarters. Adjacent to this station, at 1004 Avalon Avenue, is the offices of the fire chief and fire marshal, as well as meeting and training rooms.
Airport Station 2 Station 2 is located at 1687 T. Ed Campbell Drive. This station serves the Northwest Alabama Regional Airport and houses an aircraft fire rescue vehicle as well as Muscle Shoals Engine 2. This station was opened in January 1973.
Station 3 Station 3 was opened October 2002 and is located at 401 Ford Road. This station houses Engines 3 and 4. The opening of this station at a cost of $400,000, greatly decreased the response time to this area of our city. This station is a state of the art facility and is designed to blend in with its surrounding neighborhood.
Training Center on Central Avenue We are currently developing a new training center located on Central Avenue south of Ford Road. When completed this center will have a smoke/burn building; a training tower; natural gas fire fighting stations; a drafting pit for pump testing; another area will have rail cars and tankers as well as an over the road tanker truck to simulate fire situations involving these potential hazards. A confined space training area will be included on the 26 acre facility, along with a classroom building. |
