All About ... Charlotte NC Fire Department's Tankers

[@10Razzle88]

Charlotte Tankers also have a small purple K powder system equipped on them. They serve as a PKP unit if that service is required off airport property. Also there is a NCANG tanker housed at station 41.

Hey buddy I have a question do you know if station 11 is going to be rebuilt on the same site as the as the current station? As always thanks for the content and video! I’m really looking for to your forthcoming video on alarm!⭐️🚒👨‍🚒 keep up the great work much appreciated!🇺🇸

Yes, Charlotte Station 11 is going to be rebuilt on the same site. The department liked the location of the station. The rebuild is schedule to start in the next couple of months and the old station will be razed and a new 4 bay, 2 story station will be built on the site of the current station. FYI, the old fire department maintenance building next to station 11 will remain. During the rebuild, Engine 11 is moving to Station 4 and Rescue 11 will go to Station 1.

@@wgkpublicsafetyimages9153 awesome thanks for the info I found out they are getting ladder 39 in June and ladder 20 sometime next year sometime. Have you ever considered doing a video on some of the old Charlotte fire stations no longer in use? I know there was several station two’s back in the day as well as a former station 10 on remount Road not too far from the current station 10 as well as a former station three off of Belmont I believe near the current station eight. I just thought it might be a cool topic to do a video on provided you can find enough information.. maybe you can come up with something cool for us. I have no doubt in your ability.. while I’m on the topic of Firestation construction. Do you know if all the newer stations are being done by the same architectural firm? Thanks so much keep for the awesome channel and wonderful content! Enjoy your evening!

I believe Station 39 is getting a ladder once Tower 27 goes into service. There have been rumors about adding a ladder at Station 20 for a while, but I don't think that is going to happen anytime soon. I know the Dept wants to reduce call volumes for the really busy companies (like E20), but with station 30 being relocated further into 20s area, they may wait and see what impact that has. Plus, CFD is already adding three new companies (E44, L45 and L39) in the coming year, that would be a lot of new personnel. As for the older stations, I have them on the list, however, getting images is a little challenging. But we will see.
