The Elderville Lakeport VFD station 3 is located on FM 1716 just east of CR 2164 and West of CR 2166. It has three bays for fire apparatus, and living quarters. It was built around the same time that Station 2 was built and is very similar in design, only oriented differently and it has only three bays where station2 has four.
We begin our tour of Station 3 with a view from FM 1716 facing northeast. As you can see there are three bays, and at the timeof the photograph, Engine 4 (a reserve engine) was being quartered in Station 3 as Engine 3 was having some maintenance done. Also you can see A-3 which is the offroad/wildland truck that is normally housed in station 3. As you walk in the front door, you come into the dispatch office. In here there is a computer with internet access and is tied into our wide area network for fire reports and file sharing. There is also a base statoin radio with an amplifier that powers the speakers inside the station. In here our reports and peperwork are done, and occasionally when we need to dispatch a call it can be done from the dispatch office
