Douglas Callahan Fire Station 45 - 10701 North College Avenue - Homeplace
Completed in 1997, Station 45 has been home to a wide variety of apparatus through the years. As seen here, 2020-2021 and the renovation of Station 341/HQ meant a lot of moving around for CFD apparatus. While their new signs suggest Medic, Engine and TSU, the bays have have different tenants. Engine and Medic 345 are still here, but are joined by a new Ladder 345 (right bay), Safety 304 and Battalion 304 (back left and center bays).
