It sat vacant from 1967-1973 when Douglas County Ambulance Service was created and it became their station one. DCAS occupied it from 1973-1996 when it became Batt Chief's station for the Fire and EMS Batt. Chief's. Later it was renumbered Station 5 and continued to house the Fire Batt Chief unitl 2006. In 2006 it became vacant again and was going to be sold when the Fire Department decided to house the command bus inside. Currrenly it also houses the FIB. The orginal brass pole was removed in 1973 by the Fire Department and later in 1982 placed in active service at the new fire house four. DCAS placed a stainless steel pole in the station for their use and it remains currently.
