Well thanks to Firemick for getting me back into my history adventure.Here is a photo of Tallulah Fire Co. #3's fire house which sat on the southwest corner of Broad St. and Walton St. which was built in 1870 and stood until they moved out to Marietta and Latimer St. in the 1880's. First is a view of the fire house as it stood in about 1875

Today the Grant Building sits on this site which was built in 1898 the station sat just to the left of the front doors....

Hopefully Firemick will share his photos of station 7, I hear he has some interior shots of this old house.

I snapped a cool pic of Air 7 yesterday at a room and contents fire. I noticed they added some new lettering "AIR 7" to the rig.
