Station One
Station 1 was first located on Keyes Road off of Gessner. This was the
original station of the Fairbanks Volunteer Fire Department. The “fire” phone was at the
Fairbanks Post Office just south of the station. The phone was answered by a post office
employee. One of the employees was the mother of Zay Winn, the clown, who was a member of
the Fairbanks VFD and later Cy-Fair VFD. The station was relocated to 8600 Fairbanks-North
Houston in 1978, then moved again to its current located at 9201 Rodney Ray.
Station Two
Station 2 is located on 11210 Tower Oaks Blvd off of Jones Road. The property
was donated by the Tower Oaks Civic Club members for use as long as there was a fire station
there. The fire phone, first Fire Chief, and members lived in Tower Oaks.
Station Three
Station 3 was also built on property donated for such use. The Telge Road
location was close to Tin Hall, also known as the Cypress Gun and Rifle Club, a popular public
gathering place. The fire phone was placed at the Bammel Grocery Store, located at the corner
of Telge and Huffmeister Roads, also a popular gathering spot. In the early 1970’s, the station
was moved to the Cameron Iron Works on Hempstead Highway. The new and improved facility had
better access to the area. In addition to housing fire trucks, there was a meeting room and
restrooms. This was the first station with those luxuries. In 1983, the station was moved
to its present location at 11827 Telge Road.
Station Four
Station 4was located on property donated by the Zahn family. The fire phone was in the home
of Victor Froehlich, a Charter Member of the department. The tin barn,
which was the first fire station, was replaced in 1980 by a new building on the same site. The
new station is located on the corner of Huffmeister and Cypress Rosehill road. This station was
recently rebuilt to provide for the rapid growth in the area.
Station Five
Station 5 was originally an old garage barn next to Hooper’s Drive-In, 4529
Highway 6 North. The “fire” phone was inside the grocery store with an extension running to
the house next door. This station was to move two more times, south of Hooper’s on Highway 6
and then to its present location at 16035 Aspenglen North.
Station Six
Station 6 was first located off of FM 529 on Satsuma North at the dead end
near a residential area. The “fire” phone was located in Bay’s Grocery, 12735 Spencer, which
is still in business today. The station was moved to property belonging to Stewart and Stevenson
at Emmott and Addicks-Fairbanks Roads. In 1987, the station moved north of that location to its
new facilities on Eldridge and Wieman Roads.
Station Seven
Station 7 was the reopening of old Station 3 on Telge in 1979. This station
remained in service until it was combined with Station 3 and moved to Station 3’s present
location @ 11827 Telge Road. Old Station 7 was used for storage then later sold. Continued
growth north on 290 in the Fairfield subdivision again created the need for another station. The
developer had set aside a section @ 20444 Cypresswood Drive and a new Station 7 was built and
opened to supply the needs in this area.
Station Eight
Station 8 located at 18210 FM 529 West, was part of a rapid growth period in
the early 1980’s. This station was slow in becoming a reality because of land problems and the
fact that the members built the station themselves in their free time, taking one year to complete
the project. One of the largest stations and houses a front-line pumper, rescue truck, ambulance
and booster truck.
Station Nine
Station 9at 7922 Highway 6 North, in Copperfield, was also slow in developing
because of legal and political problems in Austin. This was the last new station to be built
during the rapid growth period. This station houses 2 ambulances and responds to the most EMS
calls in the territory. Also a 100 foot platform ladder truck and a front-line pumper.
Station Ten
Station 10 was first located on Jones Road and Fallbrook. Consisting of a
small metal building with a portable building standing beside it, this was to be the first station
to have a manned ambulance. The need for a larger facility to house personnel on a 24-hr basis
brought about the relocation to 11631 Yearling Drive. This area continued to grow and a new station
had to be built on land purchased behind old station 10 which is now located at 11310 Steeplecrest. Old
Station 10 which is owned by the ESD was the original Maintenance Facility and currently houses the Auxiliary.
Station Eleven
Station 11 is located at 18134 West Road and is attached to Lone Star College-CyFair Emergency Services Education Center
that is run by Lone Star College-CyFair that provides state level paid certifications.This building was funded by Harris County ESD #9 and is a joint partnership
with Lone Star College-CyFair. On this location is the department’s fire fighter statue and memorial
area honoring current and past members.
Station Twelve
Station 12 is located at 19780 Keith Harrow Boulevard. This facility will service
one of the fastest growing sections in the state. It houses a front-line pumper, 3000 gallon tanker
and ambulance.
HCESD #9 and CFVFD Business Office
The ESD and Business Office is located at 9630 Telge Road. We purchased this
building in late 2002. This building houses our business offices, department staff offices, Board President and Vice President, Administration, Information Technology and has a
large storage area for reserve apparatus and trailers.
Maintenance Building
The Maintenance Building is located behind the Business Office. It is a state of the art 8 bay facility. All department vehicles are maintained by this facility.
Auxiliary
The Auxiliary office is located 11310 Steeplecrest. The needs of the department have grown causing additional requirements on the Auxiliary. Out of this location they will
house their Rehab vehicle (Rehab 1) and hold their regular meetings.
