WTFD Station 93

Station 93

Station 93 is located at 5825 Brand Road.

Station 93 was built in 1989 to meet the growing demands for services in the Muirfield area. This station houses Quint 93 (engine/ladder combination), Medic 93, and Boat 93, and the department's hazardous materials trailer.

Station 93 - Brand Road

Station 93 is home to a memorial dedicated to servicemen and women who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. The memorial's focal point is a piece of I-beam from the World Trade Center. The memorial is open to the public 365 days a year.

9-11 Memorial

Equipment is stored, cleaned and stocked in the apparatus bay. Oxygen tanks in the corner are used to re-supply the medic as needed. The large tubes hanging from striped bars divert carbon monoxide from the trucks' exhaust pipes to the outdoors until they leave the bay.

Apparatus Bay

On-duty firefighters keep their gear next to the vehicle they are assigned to so it is ready when they get a call. Off-duty firefighters store their gear in this room. Personal protective gear is highly specialized and each firefighter must be fitted for and care for their own equipment.

Bunker Gear Room

The fire house is a firefighter's home away from home. Each firefighter has a bed to sleep in and a locker in which to store his/her uniforms, books, and other personal items.

Dorm

This room is used by staff for training and meetings. It can also be reserved for use by Township residents.

Meeting Room

This watch room serves double-duty as the business office for the station. When staffed, watch room staff can be accessed from the lobby through a window. The lobby in every fire house has a red phone visitors can use to access the Dublin Dispatch office if firefighters are out of the station on a run.

Watch Room

Aerobic fitness and strength are important to meet the physical demands of firefighting and rescue. A treadmill, stair climber, and free weights are some of the pieces of equipment that firefighters use for conditioning and strength training.

Fitness Room

Much like a garage in a home, the firehouse has the tools and equipment in its maintenance room to make minor repairs to fire station equipment and facilities.

Maintenance Room

With three refrigerators and a commercial-sized stove, this kitchen is well-equipped to accommodate the firefighters who prepare and eat their meals here every day.

Kitchen

Fire house cleaning, strength and aerobic conditioning, hydrant pumping or flushing, training, station tours, equipment maintenance, emergency runs and administrative duties keep firefighters very busy during their shift. After traditional business hours and as time permits, firefighters can relax in each of the station's day room. This room is also used for meetings and training.
