I thought that this was the training center now?

The building is owned by the WVFC, but used by the Training Division as well.  There is also a warehouse (location unknown at this time) used by the WVFC that houses other apparatus and equipment.

Probably one of the newest Fire Stations in Va. as I was told that it's only been opened for 147 days as of this past Tuesday. The story that I was told is very interesting, The white house to the right was a Vacant House that sat for 6 years, well a New Firehouse was due to be built in the area, but apparently Medeline Albright lives across the street and said she didn't want a modern looking building, so the County purchased the house and land and upgraded to commercial Electric. and added the middle part which is now the Offices & Kitchen area, then added The Barn type Structure for The Apparatus Bays. This thing is a Beautiful very nicely done Firehouse. That is the story i was told the day I visited and I'm sticking with it. we were also told that a Silo/Hose Tower was to set to the left of the 26 on the building but couldn't be put in the budget.

Here's the apparatus Bays/Barn section of the house.

Very cool...I love to see creativity with existing structures in station design!

So where abouts is the stations? It sounds like to me just acorss US 15 Bridge? Might have to check it out some time this Summer maybe with Terry Dwason for a weekend trip.

It is actually located on Rt 671 between Rt. 9 and Route 340.  It is not far from where Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland come together.  In fact a good number of the fires these guys run are in the Charles Town area.  They run as far as Washington County Md.

 

Really not a bad place to work even though it is dreadfully slow.  Very high percentage of fires, and when you are trying to clean up some one else's mess, the stress level is pretty low.   And the Chiefs don't easily stop by, although the 2nd Battalion is an eclectic mix of the great and the foolish.
