Fire Station 11 RCFD - Firehouses on Waymarking.com

"Station #11 originally opened as station #3 in 1952 at the corner of what is now Bay & 2nd Avenue. At the time, there were very few houses in the district and the streets weren’t even paved.

Due to seismic concerns, that station was demolished in 2001 and the new Station #11 was opened in January 2001 just down the street at the corner of Broadway and 2nd Avenue. Station #11’s district is roughly bordered by Woodside Road, Marsh Road, Middlefield Road and East Bayshore. The district also borders Menlo Park and Atherton, where mutual aid is provided. District #11 has a variety of different buildings that we protect including commercial, industrial, retail, residential and three elementary schools. US 101 also runs through the district.

Station #11 has the following apparatus housed at its quarters: Engine 11, a 2001 Hi Tech 1500 gpm (gallons per minute) pumper; Utility 11, a 2003 Ford Pickup; Water Rescue 11, an inflatable 20 ft. Zodiac and a 1926 antique Seagrave pumper. The water rescue is used at the Port of Redwood City and in the San Francisco Bay to rescue stranded boaters. The antique engine is a 1926 Seagrave pumper. It is used during the year for activities such as the 4th of July parade and chauffeuring Santa Claus around town during the holidays." (visit link)
