Station 8 Deep Creek.
Stations 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 are clustered in a pair of vertical lines in the northwestern portion of Chesapeake with 8 and 9 at the knight’s left shoulder, and 10, 11, and 12 located in the panhandle formed by our fictional knight’s upraised left arm.
Station 8’s at 209 N George Washington highway (U S 17) in the community of Deep Creek, which is another community worth an extra trip for sightseeing purposes. Station 8’s very close to the Dismal Swamp Canal (Also part of the Intracoastal Waterway). In fact the Sunday I grabbed these shots a major bridge replacement project was under way to replace the U.S. Rt. 17 Bridge crossing the canal, with Station 8 smack dab in the middle of all of the project's traffic headaches . The guys at Station 8 (Known as ‘The Hornet’s Nest’) were counting down the days until it was finished.
Engine’s 8 and 28. Medic 8, and Brush 8 are assigned to Station 8, with the Volunteers on Engine 28. Engine 28 is career staffed.

Station 8 began life in 1957 as the Deep Creek Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad, with the original station being a former service station. I believe the two smaller bays on the right are actually the original station, much modified, with the larger bays a later addition. I talked at length with a couple of the firefighters on duty, and they told me that they believed that this was indeed the site of the original station. The two smaller bays now house the station’s cascade system and a weight room.
