Aging facility needs repair and location is logistical issue Ocala Fire Station One is the city's oldest operating emergency response facility and while sentiment might favor keeping it open, logistics is not on the side of the venue. Station One is showing its age. Expensive repairs are needed.
The station is one of the departments oldest still in service. Expensive repairs are needed. The other major challenge for the station was its location relative to the location of many of the calls to which the companies it houses respond. The plan is to build two smaller stations on major thoroughfares for easy road access and in areas where there is a need for service.
