Firehouse 3 is located on Shackelford Road just northeast of Humes Lane.
This firehouse was built from the bond proceeds and the firefighters moved in September 2006.
Responding from House 3 are firetruck 4034 and ambulance 4037.
4034 is a 2007 Pierce Rescue Pumper. This pumper is the district's newest truck and was put into service December 15, 2006. This pumper was purchased from bond proceeds.
In June 2010, Florissant's new ambulance 4037 was placed into service. This replaced the 2005 International ambulance 4037, which logged over 150,000 miles. The ambulance is a 2009 GMC 4500 Type 3 ambulance featuring the ActionSafe design. The ActionSafe design is intended to protect the attendant by placing him or her in a position to render patient care while seated and secured. It moves most of the items the attendant may need, as well as the patient, within arm’s reach of the attendant, minimizing the amount of time that the attendant would be standing and vulnerable to injury from a collision or sudden stop. The ActionSafe design also removes many of the “strike points” (90 degree angles of cabinets) by replacing them with angled (45 degrees) cabinets. The ActionSafe design is a new concept, developed by the Winter Park Fire Department in Florida, whose ambulances served as the model for our design. The ambulance was purchased from bond proceeds. The old 4037 will be retained by the district and used as a spare.
