Fire Station Tour

Join us for a virtual tour of the historic fire station here at the Historic Wendover Airfield. We’ll see the building, vintage apparatus, learn why rescue personnel are so essential at a military airfield, and the technological firefighting innovations that came out of WWII.

Special thanks to the Palmer family for their firefighting legacy here on base and their numerous contributions, to the Arizona Ground Crew Living History Unit for their donation of the Class 135 crash truck, and to our first responders.
