History: Station 18 opened by March 16, 1987 at 8200 Morgans Way, on what were the northwest borders of the city. Engine 18 was placed in service with a 1973 Mack pumper. Station 18 was the first fire station built with separate bathrooms in the dormitory. The sleeping area was also partitioned, a feature added to fire stations after the hiring of the first female firefighters in 1978. Station 18 is located in the Stonehenge community, and has housed a variety of reserve apparatus over the years. In 201_, Engine 18 was activated as a haz-mat
company, and two haz-mat support vehicles were moved from Station 2 to Station
18. On October 27, 2018, Battalion 4 was relocated from Station 23 to Station
18, and Haz-Mat 5 and the foam trailer was relocated from Station 18 to Station
27.
