History:

Station 12, or Bayview as it is also known, covers the southern end of the Fire District. Bayview is normally staffed by three personnel. Station 12 covers mainly residential areas, but is first in to four different elementary schools. It is also first due at the local power-plant (a decommissioned nuclear plant now running on fossil fuels). Also housed at Station 12 is one of the department's reserve engines, Engine 14. In the event of a large fire, firefighters called back to duty will staff this engine and will be prepared to respond to any other emergency that arises.
