When I moved away from Killeen in 1981, the KFD was a mostly volunteer, combination department running from five stations, protecting about 50,000 people. Much has changed. Today, Killeen is home to over 130,000. The City has spread out from about 35 square miles to over 105 square miles. Stations 1 and 3 have been relocated to newer sections of town, joined by Stations 6, 7, and 8. Stations 9 and 10 are already in the works. All stations are career staffed, with a small force of Volunteers that respond when needed.
When I arrived in Killeen, I went to "Central" Station (there is no Station 2), but everyone was at lunch, so I hit Stations 4, 3 and 1, then returned to Central. The first two apparatus photos I ever took were on the ramp at Central.
