Notes on Wilmington’s temporary fire department headquarters at 3 South 2nd Street, just south of Market Street, a leased building that was occupied from 1954 to 1956 during the construction of a new Station 1 at the corner of 4th and Dock streets.

The construction bid for the new Station 1 was awarded in September 1954. The former Station 1, built in 1907, was demolished in November 1954. The new Station 1 was dedicated on May 23, 1956.
