This is the central office for the county's nine fire stations, where more than 180 certified professional fire fighters work. The fire stations usually have more than 3,000 calls for help during a year. They may search for someone who's lost, get a cat out of a tree, douse a burning building or revive someone. Some of the fire stations have meeting rooms the public can rent. Children's birthday parties can be held at the main station on College Avenue.
