Fire Station #1, located at 13601 Webb Chapel Road, is the crown jewel of the Farmers Branch Fire Department.

"Caring Service... Proud Tradition."  These words could most certainly be used to describe our very own Club, but in fact, they're the motto of the Farmers Branch Fire Department.  The CFB Rotary Club had the distinct honor of visiting Farmers Branch Fire Station #1 for the March 21st luncheon. 

At the second off-site meeting scheduled for the year, Rotarians enjoyed a catered Dickey's BBQ lunch, complete with all the trimmings, and afterward listened to Fire Chief Steve Parker talk a bit about the Department, and the new fire house located just south of the Manske Library on Webb Chapel Road.  After taking Q&A from several Club members, the Chief allowed those in attendance to take a full tour of the state-of-the-art fire house, which is decked-out with a full gym, individual dormitory-style bedrooms, a cutting edge media room, and a restaurant-quality kitchen.

The 12,000-square-foot facility, on which construction was completed in February 2012, sits strategically in the middle of the Farmers Branch residential community.  To view photos of the luncheon, please click here.
