Station No. 3 on W. Danforth is a one-story brick building with two overhead doors.

A fire department was first established in Edmond in 1903. They had one aerial ladder truck and fought fires with water bucket brigades. By 1950, the had 2 pumpers and a Chief's car. During this time, up until 1971, college students slept in the firehouse to be available if needed during the night. During the day, they were released from classes if there was a fire. In 1976, when the population of the City exploded, two new firehouses were built (including this Station No. 3), and another two in 1983.
