Station 3 - "Devils of Danville"
Station 3 is the smallest fire station in town, originally housing only one engine. This station was completed during the summer of 1996 after the city annexed land from the Town of Laroux. This station is located in the backwoods of town after the City of Washington Heights took ownership of the land, it was dubbed Danville by its residents. The lone engine company, that protected the small community of the Danville Borough took the name "The Devils of Danville" after a string of quick responses and quick knock downs. The Company still keeps the name and tradition alive today. This station's response area is very rural and mostly consists of residential housing. There are captain's offices, living quarters and showers, a kitchen, radio room, lounge, and a tool room in addition to two apparatus bays. Engine 3-12 and Forestry 1-12 are quartered here, and respond first due in district.
