Chesapeake Va Fire Stations
#30
Station 10 Bowers Hill



Station 10’s located at 629 Homestead Rd, just off S Military Highway and is the southernmost of the three stations located in the city’s northwestern panhandle. Station 10 was built in 1971 as a combination fire station/police precinct and was used in that capacity until 1997. Battalion 3 was also quartered at #10 at one time. At present Engine 10 (Chesapeake’s only Squrt), Medic 10 and Brush 10 call Station 10 home..



   



Station 10 got its start in 1959 as the Sunray Volunteer fire Department, which had no station of its own, but whose members assisted other fire companies. They didn’t have a home of their own until Chesapeake organized Engine Company 10 at consolidation.



I don’t believe he present Station 10 is engine 10’s original station though I could well be wrong. A couple of people said they remembered another station on Military Highway and one noted it was near a VFW post. I also have a very hazy memory of passing a station on Military Highway on my frequent childhood trips to The Eastern Shore. HMMMM…another mystery to solve!
Engine 1 to all units, we've got a glow in the sky!
