A new Kill Devil Hills station is under construction right at the Kill Devil Hills/Nags Head line. I was told an agreement has been made that this station will have a first due portion within Nags Head and that Kill Devil Hills will receive funding from Nags Head to provide this service. I do not know if Kill Devil Hills has any apparatus on order for this station.
Nags Head once had a small sub-station (Station 20) just across from Jockey's Ridge (the large sand dunes) that was somewhat close to the planned Kill Devil Hills station. This was a small station that housed a Seagrave engine and a Ford F brush truck (I posted these earlier in this thread under the Nags Head area). Station 20 is now "closed" and this facility is now the beach rescue division of Nags Head. The Seagrave engine will be sold in the very near future and the Ford F brush truck is now assigned to the larger Nags Head station (Station 16).
Other Nags Head information:
A new KME engine is on order and should arrive in Nags Head towards the end of the year. I believe this will be a rescue engine and assigned to the newer Station 21. This replaces the Seagrave.
Nags Head had an interesting Kaiser brush truck (Brush 16) and a Kaiser utility truck, both ex- military trucks. These two pieces have been disposed of.
I did photograph Nags Head's reserve engine, Engine 161, while I stopped by Station 21. It was filling in for the rescue engine normally assigned to Station 21, which was out of service for some mechanical work.

Mike,
When I was there in early July, I read in the newspaper the station will be located on a lot on the northeast corner of Hwy 12 and E. 8th St, and it did mention that it would be jointly run together. I took that as they would both have apparatus running out of it, but that could have easily been changed since that article came out, or I simply mis-read it.
