Disbanded fire stations and companies - a sad part of fire service history

I've moved around quite a bit in my career, and it's sad to see how many stations and units have been disbanded throughout the history of various fire departments. FDNY, Cleveland, Detroit, Cincinnati, Baltimore, Washington, D.C. and quite a few others have some pretty good historical photos and records of old fire stations and disbanded fire companies.

Some of the ones from my past that I really miss...

Hagerstown Community Rescue Service Squad 75A - I hated the slime green color, but that Mack saved more lives than I can count. The people that ran that unit were awesome.

Chattanooga FD Engine 3
Chattanooga FD Engine 7
Chattanooga FD Engine 11
Chattanooga FD Ladder 3
Chattanooga FD Ladder 7
Chattanooga FD EMS Division - Medic 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6

Greenville City FD Engine 1
Greenville County EMS Rescue Division - Rescue 1, 2, and 3

Asheville FD Engine 15

Old Stations

Chattanooga

1 (West ML King)
2 (20th St)
3 (Georgia Ave.)
7 (The Main St. one that used to have horse-drawn apparatus)
11 (South Crest Rd./Missionary Ridge)
12 (North Chattanooga)
13 (Brainerd)
14 (St. Elmo)

Greenville, SC

Engine 1 (Downtown)

Hagerstown FD

Engine 3 - the Junior Hose Co. The new house is modern and nice, but the old station was a true classic.

Anybody else have some old "blast from the past" favorites?
