Fort
Oglethorpe Fire & Rescue Station 10, originally
known as Station 9, was approved to be constructed
in May 1984. The building was constructed in the
fall of the same year on City property off of
Macksmith Road. After the station was built it sat
dormant for several years, until Harrell Murray set
up a shop in the building for fire department
equipment repairs.
The
late Sgt. Shannon Carlock was given the charge to
help recruit firefighters for the station and a sign
was posted in front of the station requesting
volunteers. Shannon passed away, in 1991, before he
could see the station open.
Fort Oglethorpe Fire & Rescue opened Station #10 in
July 1992 on Macksmith Road. The piece of equipment
that was moved to Station 10 was bought in November
1972 for Station 1, then moved to Station 2, until
it moved to Station 10. It was a C 1000 diesel
engine. Capt. Jim Brewer was the first officer at
the station.
In
1995, Chief Camp purchased a new engine for each
station. Station 10 received a 1996 Spartan.
Station 10 is operaed as a volunteer and training
station.
