The current Fire Station #4 opened in early 1993 to provide fire protection for the fast growing western portion of North Little Rock which borders Maumelle. The new Station 4 involved a reorganization of the NLRFD. The original Station 4, which was in Rose City,
was closed. Old Station 2 was also closed, and a new Station 2 was built further east on East Broadway. Rescue 80 was moved from Station 6 to Station 5 with a new rescue/ mini pumper. Engine 5 was decommissioned. The Captain from Engine 5 became the Captain on Truck 1A. Truck 1A had only a driver up until this point for many years. The 1978 Ford/Pierce from Station 5 became Engine 4'S first apparatus at the New Station 4. Old Station 4'S (Rose City) International/ American La France became Reserve Engine 101. With the addition of the new 1992 Pierce Arrow at Station 1, all first line pumpers and ladder trucks in North Little Rock were Dieselized for the first time! |
