How do you say goodbye to something that has been around for well over a century? That’s what the Richmond Fire Department has been tasked with doing, as its Station 12 is set for a makeover.
The facility, which will be replaced with a new building on the same site, was home to the department for the past 113.5 years, but it ran its final shift on March 29.

The firehouse went into service Nov. 16, 1908, and was the last firehouse in the city to have a fire pole.
Reminisce with some photos below:
The fire station in the North Texas town of Blue Ridge was damaged Monday night when a storm packing tornados and strong winds passed through, reports WFAA.
Thunderstorms, hale, and strong winds had just passed through town, and six firefighters sheltering inside the station were expecting that the worst has passed when winds tore off the station roof.
No one was injured in the incident and no major apparatus were lost as the damage mainly was confined to the station’s meeting hall.
