![]() One the surface, Fire Station 5 seems like most any other firehouse. There's a big red truck parked inside and firefighters live there 24 hours a day. But one thing makes Station 5 unlike any other firehouse in the city... Since 1992, it has been a rescue-only station. Housing a rescue company instead of an engine company, Fire Station 5 pulls double duty from its home in the 3400 block of Magnolia. It is first to respond to medical calls and small emergencies on Park Hill, like neighborhood engine companies do. But it also responds to all structure fire calls and vehicle accidents with injuries anywhere in NLR north of Interstate 40. This workload is a reason that Rescue 5 responded to nearly 1,800 calls in 2007 and was the busiest fire company in the city! |
