Station 15 opened in 2024, replacing a building from 1960. The old station was demolished and the new structure was built in the same footprint in Chattanooga’s Eastdale community. The two-bay fire station is a 9,500 square foot building with space to accommodate more personnel and apparatus, allowing for further expansion of the fire department as Chattanooga continues to grow in population. It is several times larger than the old station. It has a kitchen, living area, sleeping rooms, showers, locker rooms, outdoor patio, a hardened shelter and a gym. It also boasts new technologies to provide faster response times and protective measures for emergency responders and their equipment. The new Fire Station 15 will be a model design for future fire station builds as the CFD continues working to meet the city’s increased service needs.
