Located on the corner of West 95th and Nicollet, Fire Station 1 is the main base for Fire Chief Ulie Seal, pictured above right, and the Station 1 "Sweathogs."
Constructed in 1992, Fire Station 1 opened in 1993 and replaced the original station that had been located on West 95th Street and Lyndale Avenue. This is the only station housing administrative personnel: the Fire Chief, Assistant Chief, Training Chief, Maintenance Chief and two Administrative Assistants. Station 1 has a large fully-equipped training room and meeting areas.
Station 1 is the most popular destination for public station tours, as it is the largest with the most equipment.
