For your Sunday evening enjoyment, here’s a grab bag of historical bits, about fire station closures and fire department mergers in Raleigh and Wake County.
There have been but a handful of note.
Closures
(Not counting station re-locations within 2.5 miles)
- 1960 – Western Boulevard FD
- 1982 – Wake Forest FD #2
- ca. 1992 – Durham Highway FD – Station 1 on Davis Drive
- 1993 – Raleigh FD – Station 4 on Wake Forest Road
- 2008 – Western Wake FD – Station 2 on Chapel Hill Road, old Yrac FD
Mergers
(Not counting rural department mergers with their respective municipalities, or vice versa)
- 2002 – Six Forks FD > Bay Leaf FD
- 2013 – Falls FD > Wake Forest FD
The document pulls heavily from the 2004 TriData study and Wake County Fire Commission minutes over the years.
Take a look, see what you think, and what ways the document could be made better. Such as, perhaps, splitting closures and mergers into separate sections.
