Station 6 Fentress
Station 6 is located at 1109 Whittamore Rd in the rural east central portion of Chesapeake, just below the knight’s right arm. The station was built in 1982, replacing a station built in 1951 on the same site. Engine 6 and Brush 6 call Station 6 home, and one of the target hazards in their first due in the Fentress Navy Auxiliary Landing Field, just a couple of miles west. The field was built in 1940 and is presently used to simulate a carrier flight deck for Carrier qualification training…the field sees approximately 140,000 flight operations annually.
The station is ‘L’ shaped and built to resemble a ranch style house with the bays opening off of the rear of the building. Engine 6 was on the apron when I stopped by the station and grabbed a few shots. Were it not for the rig and the flagpole, the shots from the front could well be real estate pics of a nice ranch style house. The station is well layed out and comfortable inside, and has a definite home-like feel.

Engine 1 to all units, we've got a glow in the sky!
If God's not a Hokie, Then why do the leaves turn Maroon and Orange in the Fall?
