Heading home I stopped by Stafford County, Virginia's newest station - Station 12 in Berea. Fire Station 12 is located on a busy part of Route 17, near I95 and Fredricksburg.
Station 12 opened on February 1, 2008 of this year. Work is still being finalized inside and outside of the station. Currently staffed is Quint 12. Originally, this truck was to be "Ladder 12" but its designation was later changed after the Quint arrived.
An engine is planned for the station, but budget restrictions need to be worked out first. There is a ambulance kept at the station, but it is not staffed. Quint 12 is staffed with four personnel and is ALS certified. In addition to fire calls, it runs first due for ALS/BLS calls. Since February 1st, it has run over 400 calls.
