What Fire Houses have Fire Poles in Phoenix? How many are left, do they build any two story fire houses any more in Phoenix? Thanks for the information.

Hi Rick - Not really any two story stations any more that I know of, except maybe a very few in congested downtown areas (I'm thinking of Tempe Station 276, which is right downtown - It's two story, but I don't know if they have any poles). Even large Central-Phoenix stations are one-story (i.e. Stations 1, 4 & 8, for example).
Most stations are built on large parcels, with drive-through bays, since there's plenty of land available. If I recall, Goodyear Station 181 has a pole, but it's really only for convenience. No living quarters are on the second floor, only a workout room off one side of the bay.
