Station 83 is located at 2100 Tracy Rd. Opening in 2006, it also includes the Police Substation for the city’s west end. It includes a dayroom, kitchen, workout area, and was built to be easily expanded in the near future to include living quarters.

We are also lucky to house Old Betsy, the City’s first rig! Originally a farm tanker for the Hirzel's/Dei Fratelli Farms, the Hirzel's modified the 1946 vehicle and upfitted it with a pump for the locals to use as the fire apparatus.
