Our Home





Welcome all to our home on the internet! Pictured above is our "real home." Earlier this month Roanoke Fire-EMS Station #3 officially opened its doors at 4803 Williamson Road NE, proudly serving the "north side" of Roanoke City.

So some of you may ask "what's the deal with the green house?" In the City of Roanoke's Clean and Green initiative this fire station was designed to be environmentally friendly and to be "LEED Certified." This certification is the bench mark for building construction that has little impact on the environment. Some of the "green" features of this station include a gray water collection system and a food composter!

In the future we hope to have a "virtual tour" of the fire station online in addition to pictures of the apparatus housed here and the folks that ride in them. In the meantime if you would like a tour of the station, please call Tiffany Bradbury at (540) 853-5785 and she will be happy schedule one. We hope to be updating this blog regularly so please stop by and see what's going on!

  1. Great shirt design! The patch up top looks good too. Is there a green super hero that can catch a hydrant for the fella's on 9? Cause that could be kinda cool for your shirt too! Just kidding, we'd work a fire with you guys any time! Be safe and get ready for the winds tonight.
