Firehouse 32 History - Unscripted Episode 9

Thursday November 2, 2017 marked the end of an era in SMFR history. Fire Station 32, located on the corner of Orchard Road and Quebec Street, has officially closed for demolition to make way for a new modern fire station. 40 years ago Station 32 only cost $350,000 to build; it featured open style sleeping and locker rooms at a time when there were no women firefighters at the Castlewood Fire Dept. Over the years the station was remodeled several times but the needs of SMFR have outgrown the space. The new station is expected to take 9 months to build and will feature 12 bedrooms, 4 larger apparatus bays, a fitness center and training room. Station 32 Firefighters and their apparatus will be housed at neighboring fire stations during construction.
