Whenever I drove or walked pass they always gave a friendly hello. I lived across the street for a number of years and they were there for me in an instant, when tragedy struck me.
To tear down anything historical is tearing down the heart of Mobile Alabama.
We are known for our canopy of oaks guiding one to marvel at such beautiful architecture. We are known as a historical town, if the city keeps tearing down our beautiful buildings, one that has a history of their own, then will we honestly be the historic town people have grown to love and cherish. We have pride in our town, tear down our history and you tear down our charm. The very thing that brings people to visit this historical city.
Save them all, if in need fix and preserve the ones that have been here for years, who are still standing through every hurricane, tornado, etc. preserve and be proud of our history. It's your history too, don't tear down the gems we only have so many left. This was not meant to be a modern town no body wants modern they want nostalgia, a story, they want to know and love our charming historical place that we call home.

"Sandy" Sanders was assigned to Central Fire Station during a portion of his career in the Mobile Fire Department. He later went on to become Chief of the Greer Fire Department in South Carolina and eventually retired as the first Fire Chief of the Spalding County Fire Department in Georgia. He has told me many stories of his days at Central. I know that he, as well as myself, would hate to see these historic sites lost. Although we no longer reside in Mobile we will always have a history with the city. I believe the city of Mobile needs to do whatever takes to ensure that these historical sites are maintained for future generations.

It is at the end of my street and is one of the few that are located in the midst of a residential area. This is Midtown with a lot of older homeowners who rely on this station to keep us safe through their quick response times.
I accidentally pushed an alert code on my alarm and the my firemen were at my house before the alarm company called. It was very comforting.
When my mother had a heart event at at 2:00 am, they almost beat me to her home and I live five houses down from hers. The ambulance went to Grand Blvd. in Chickasaw, but our Firemen were there keeping her safe.
A neighbor down the street recently fell and our firemen were there taking care of her until an ambulance arrived.
Please invest in these older stations. They cannot be replaced architecturally and serve our citizens quickly and efficiently.
Mobile has bulldozed far too many of our historic structures. Please don't let our stations join those ranks.
Keep Central Station.
The citizens will help with volunteer work days to help maintain these stations; just ask.
One Mobile. We will help.
Thank you,

I have some photographs to prove it. Of course, I guess that this doesn't matter because they are still building the Maritime Museum in an area that has flooded too. I have photographs of that area too. Central Fire Station is built like a fortress. If it would have been properly maintained over the years instead of trying to cover up the problems, it would not even be considered at this time... If it is not used for an active station, then it should definitely be used for a fire museum.

He educated many, many students from all over Mobile County at each of these stations. They are landmarks and are of great significance to me and our three children. I have had to erase him from bank accounts, deeds and other investments. You now want to erase his second home? Places my kids can go to feel close to their dad? I always have a story to tell them at each of these sites about their dad. This is nothing but politics, plain and simple! While these places have great sentimental value to me, he did great things there for the community. I'm sure the firefighters that have followed him are continuing to do so. Save the stations, fire the politicians involved! This is one fire I bet they won't be so eager to put out!!
