NLRFD CENTRAL STATION: Central Station also houses the administrative offices of the NLRFD, along with the mechanical facilities. The Chief of Department, Assistant Chief, and other administrative officers including the Training Captain and Admistrative Captain of the Department are housed here. Business with the citizens of the City is conducted here.

Engine 1'S District includes Downtown North Little Rock. The largest structure in this District is the new Alltel Arena. Most
of the buildings downtown are quite old. The commercial buildings are mostly two story structures. Any vehicle accident
on I-30 or nearby I-40 results in Engine 1 being dispatched. Engine 1'S territory extends north to 22nd Street, east to Buckeye Street. Engine 1's territory borders Engine 3's District on its western boundary.

Truck 1A protects the area of the city South of I-30. This apparatus responds to all structure fires in this part of the city.
It can be special called to other areas of the city if it is needed.

Rescue 19'S District is approximately the same as Truck 1A'S, except that Rescue 19 goes only as far North as 22nd Street.
Rescue 19 responds on all structure fires in its district as well as all vehicle accidents in its district. Rescue 19, with its huge
light tower and on-board air cascade system will most likely be called to any major fire in the southern portion of the city.

Interesting Facts About NLRFD Central Fire Station: The present Station 1 is the second structure used as NLR'S Central Fire Station. The original structure still stands in the 500 Block of Main Street and is completely rebuilt by the city. It contains an "engine room" on the first floor where a fire engine can be parked. (Hopefully an antique.)
Interesting Facts About Engine 1: Engine 1 was obviously the first Company formed in the NLRFD. It originally operated on a horse-drawn hose wagon. Its first motorized apparatus was a 1917 American La France. Company 1 was the "Reserve Pumper" according to the 1947 Underwriters' Report. Company 1 again became the Primary Engine Company at Central again after Station 4 in Rose City opened in 1949. The pumper running out of Central then became Company 1, with the reserve engine being renumbered. (Co's 7 and 8 were reserve pumper designations until Engines 7 and 8 were commissioned. Engine 1 carried all "extra" firemen on duty during a given day for many years.On days when nobody was sick or off, Engine 1 might be seen with as many as seven firemen on board.
Interesting Facts About Truck 1: Truck 1A was originally designated "Company 5" and was formed with the arrival of a Seagrave Ladder Truck in February, 1947. The original truck had a 65' Aerial Ladder and a 250 GPM Pump. It also had a booster tank of 150 gallon capacity. Company 5 became Company 1A in the early 1950's. The Company has operated on only three vehicles in its entire history. The next apparatus was a 1981 American La France 100' Rear Mount Aerial. It was delivered new in 1982. This was the first 100' Aerial owned by the NLRFD. Today Truck 1 operates on a 2006 Ferrara Aerial.
Interesting Facts About Rescue 1: Rescue 19 was formed in 1963 as a result of the Nation's Civil Defense Concerns during the Cold War. It's first vehicle (a 1963 Jeep Wagoneer) even had the "CD" emblem on the side. Rescue Company 19 received it number designation, because it was the "next available number." Fourteen was the number of the District Chief's car. Seventeen was the mechanic's vehicle and Eighteen was a car used by the Instructor or Training Office.
