Welcome to the online home of Jacksonville Fire and Rescue’s Fire Station 10.  Located just minutes from downtown Jacksonville on McDuff Avenue, Fire Station 10 has a storied history of service to the neighborhoods of Avondale, Lackawanna, Murray Hill, and Riverside.
  Established in 1927, Station 10 has evolved in to one of the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department’s largest and most important stations.  The station now houses Engine 10, an advanced life support engine, Ladder 10, a Safety Car, and a Battalion Chief.  In addition to responding to emergencies in the area, Station 10 also oversees the staffing of 3 other fire districts in the JFRD’s second battalion.  Station 10 also is responsible for overtime staffing of the entire department.
  Station 10 has the nickname of “The Penitentiary”, in honor of the scores of firefighters that have been assigned to the station as punishment throughout the years.  Always known as one of Jacksonville’s busiest fire stations, Jacksonville Fire Department officials would use the station as a punishment assignment, figuring firefighters would be too busy to get in trouble.  Punished firefighters soon began to call the station home, referring to their employee I.D. numbers as their inmate number.  To this day, many of the “Inmates” have never left.  Others have done several different tours of duty, always volunteering to come back home to Station 10.
  Nowadays, Fire Station 10 is no longer viewed as a punishment station.  It remains one of the most coveted assignments a firefighter can have on the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department.
