Station 3 - Northwest
Located in the northwest side of town at Hale Road and Lewis & Clark, Station 3 previously served as a station for McCulloch VFD. Annexations in 1989 included an area that was served by the McCulloch Volunteers. Their equipment was acquired by the town and 30 fire fighters became Clarksville Volunteers. Serving as the only all-volunteer station, this firehouse is home to five apparatus.
